Why does any foreigner come to India? Well, there are a few popular reasons. Let's begin with why I didn't come: I didn't come for a job with a multinational company. I wasn't offered a fantastic package with an air conditioned flat in a highrise apartment, a car or driver or a maid to cut my watermelon. The softness of that sort of life would have been nice, but not without its setbacks: a subject for another article. I didn't come on a two week 'internship' for an NGO or to build a school or paint a school's walls. I didn't come to India for a spiritual journey. I was lost when I left Canada, but had no spiritual programs that I wanted to complete in India to resolve my lostness. I didn't come to India to learn yoga, or Sanskrit, or meditation, or tanpura, or anything else aside from how to stomach a lot of sweet tea. In short: I came to India to be challenged, to witness a different way of life and to better understand my own experience in contrast. In a little greater detail, and because this article wouldn't be much if it ended now, I initially came to volunteer. First a month in Kolkata in a Mother Teresa home for disabled kids; later, five months in Varanasi in a school and girls hostel. In Varanasi, I lived with a lovely Bihari family, ate dal rice roti subji with my hand and was home by 7 every night, completing the 'local' experience as much as a foreigner can. I also didn't hold any grand illusions about changing the lives of children I was volunteering with: my intent in spending time with them was much more selfish and simple. I learned very quickly that these extremely disadvantaged children actually had a lot more to offer me than I had to offer them. Anyone who has volunteered or worked with kids who have grown up in difficult or uncertain circumstances will know that these kids have an otherwise rare amount of affection and trust to give. Why was I, who had been given every possible opportunity in life, more empty than kids who had built their lives from the charitable scraps other had thrown at them? I wanted to know how they did this, and so surrounded myself with them. I let the hostel girls, girls who had been abandoned on trains between cities or sold by their parents, comb and style and re-style my hair. I sat for hours with boys who had been dropped off in front of Mother Teresa homes as infants: kids who were nearly vegetables due to severe physical and mental disabilities, but had sparks in their eyes. Whatever I gave kids in hugs and alphabet songs, in baths and feedings, they would give me ten times in perspective and honesty. Honesty means a precious five year old daughter of a sex worker year grabbing your cheeks and saying 'Didi, aap gudiya jaisi lagti hai' (You look like a doll). Honesty means a twelve year old girl starting her menstrual cycle while you give her a bath: her full blown physical and mental disabilities have not affected her biological clock and her body is preparing for the possibility of pregnancy, a possibility that will never be realised because she will spend her life in care centres like this one. This honesty showed me plainly that the human spirit is stronger than the conditions to which it is sometimes subjected. I moved to Mumbai after these volunteer stints to carry out communications and resource mobilisation for an educational NGO called Atma, because I wanted to continue my exposure to the development sector and to people who are making the most of life against all odds. In Mumbai, it's not unusual for a working mother to wake up at 4AM to wash clothes by hand, prepare breakfast and pack lunches for her husband and kids. She might then work from 9:30 to 5:30 in an office, come home to prepare dinner and help her kids with their studies before sleeping at 11PM. Others commute for up to five hours a day on trains and buses, coming from as far as Pune and Gujarat to work in Mumbai. When the lift stops working in a ten story building slum project building, even the elderly tenth floor residents have no choice but to walk the stairs for the month or so that it'll take to fix. In contrast to the people at my work and the people who live in my building, my life has been extraordinarily easy and streamlined. I've taken advantage of every opportunity that's been offered to me, and there have been many. The lives of those around me keep me aware of how holistically privileged I am. More than being educated, I'm empowered. More than having a good job, I have choices and can be proactive in solving problems, setting goals and arriving where I want to go. However… even despite being able to think critically and make decisions by myself, living in Mumbai is challenging because it's not what I grew up in. Doing things like taking twenty hour train rides and finding a flat to rent are not as simple as they sound if you're a single white woman in any Indian city. Even simple things like obtaining a sim card or mailing a package aren't items on a long to-do list that could be done in a day: each is its own project which could take a whole day, or (probably) longer. I came to India for the challenge of figuring things out on my own. The struggles with the Visa In-Charge, the immigration authorities and the endless red tape and bureaucracy around trying to do ANYTHING as a foreigner in this country feel to me like a personal challenge: if I make it through, there must be something good on the other side. I made it through, and I was right. I came to Mumbai because this city is fascinating and rich and offers as much as one could take. Because anything challenging and difficult is healthy and good for growth. Because the expanse of experience available to me here eclipses the comfort and cleanliness of Canada, and for me, for now, that experience is worth more.

Why Did I Come To India?
November 16, 2011
What makes a foreigner from a developed western nation want to make India their new home?
Bronwyn McBride
38 Comments
Raghu Barigeda29.10.12 03:51 PMLearning from what Shri. Bronwyn McBride has expressed what I call Mother of comments and I experienced the truthfulness of comment and express my gratitude. India is a strange culture. Its a culture of values to abide to and at the same time there's weekness experienced by Indian society in practical terms, when it comes to abiding by values. This is a strange subject. But its true. Here how I explain from my experience. Western world has less tolerance as compared to India, This you can experience and see through naked eyes. But weakness of India is implelmentation process. When you hit the physic of person for betterment of human culture, you must resort to honesty, Social behaviour patterns which doesn't cause any anxeity who were and searching what's the human goal. Crimes, dishonesty and malfunction of Indian culture is same as of western world.But openness of expressing is very low of deeds/sins indian culture and Arab Culture as compared to western culture. So by this we can understand india as vibrant intellectual systems adotped by citizens not corporates and govt. systems. Now main clash is between these two Indian Systems ( Idealistic Indian culture & Hard Core Western practical Culture) and difficult to sustain Vs western culture. With internet information, look like , feel like, resemblence has increased and made easy. So Indian trying to behave as westerners and thus cultural equation of understanding is developing. But western soceity has to break the ice of Arab world to more openness and freedom inorder to awaken the cultural shift. Customs may be difirrent but when it comes to Human needs its simply common and same.
Thanks Bronwyn McBride for instigating to write the Truth.

Naveen12.12.11 11:02 AMAmazing article. Yes, India is an experience, and i am glad you are upto it. :)By
Bronwyn01.12.11 05:18 PM@John Doe: thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
@Gaurav: India's patriarchal society does pose a lot of challenges for women all over the country, whether they are native or foreign-born. Those challenges certainly help us to learn and grow, though, and I feel blessed for that. Thank you for reading!By
gaurav30.11.11 08:57 AMHi,
It was great to read your reasons for coming to India and your take on why others do the same was interesting as well. It's appreciable that women who are not a native of the country, come here to be challenged.
I don't know about other countries but India is a difficult place for a women to live due to its strong patriarchal society. And hats of to all the women that are doing well in their lives here.By
John Doe29.11.11 04:55 PMWow! That was jus awesumm!!! We really do think that you people come here to learn yoga or in dreams of helpin the poor!!! Nicely written! Enjoyed it!By
Bronwyn25.11.11 02:54 PM@Scott M: Thank you for reading! Can't wait to see you guys.
@KP: I'm glad to hear about your impression of me and my India experience from my blog. I would said that you are quite right: I appreciate living in India, and in Mumbai, because life is challenging for me here and forces me to think and learn and grow. That can only be a positive thing. You're also right that in contrast to the experiences of those around me, I live a very charmed life. That perspective is one of the most valuable things that Mumbai has given me.
@Mithil: thank you so much! I hope you will follow me on the NRI as well as my personal blog. I really appreciate your words.By
Mithil24.11.11 10:01 PMA solid and influential read. GO on m following youBy
KP24.11.11 07:00 PMHi
I have visited your blog for the first time today and this is the first post that I have read. Hence, I am not sure if my conclusion about you will be correct or no. Apologies in advance if it is incorrect or if you feel bad.
The impression I got from this post that you came to India so that you would have to work hard and make a lot of efforts in everyday life. Does that mean that India is fulfilling for you because it has everything you need but it makes you work real hard for everything? And this makes you appreciate the achievement as well as yourself?By
Scott M24.11.11 12:12 PMI'm with Heike R. A great read, and you're doing great stuff. SBy
Bronwyn22.11.11 12:09 PM@Kirklops: I really empathize with that: being away from what you know will obviously teach you about that new place, but it will also more subtly teach you about yourself and the place that you come from, in contrast.
Thank you for reading!By
Kirklops22.11.11 01:57 AM"In short: I came to India to be challenged, to witness a different way of life and to better understand my own experience in contrast."
Likewise, an outside perspective of our home is always nice to have in order to understand our own way of life better and then to strive to improve ourselves in whatever way possible. Nice post and thank you for writing it as well :)By
Bronwyn20.11.11 11:22 PM@Lauren: thank you so much! I'm glad you could identify with some of my reflections. Yes, I'd love to meet you at the Marathon, here's hoping I am still standing at the end!
@Shailesh: I came to Mumbai, and to Bandra specifically after spending long months in Varanasi and having glimpsed life in other smaller towns across the country: I'd say that Bandra in Mumbai is hands down the easiest place in India for expats (and especially single women!) to live... And that's why I'm here :)By
Shailesh Pais20.11.11 05:33 PMWell Bronwyn,
Chennai is a more challenging city as the culture is much more backward. Its very difficult for a single white woman to make friends. So one does get a bit isolated. Bombay in contrast has a lot more to offer. You can get many Western luxuries like food and drink if you look for it. And sexism here is much less.
And Bandra is without doubt one of the best places in India to live in. :)By
Lauren20.11.11 02:48 PMGreat article-you really articulated well the experience, questioning and reflective thinking that takes place here. Your honesty is appreciated-hope to actually meet sometime. Probably at the Mumbai marathon!By
Bronwyn17.11.11 10:27 AM@Observer: Thank you for your words. I really and honestly feel that I will never be able to give to India and give to the people here even a small piece of what they have given me: in trying, I only receive. Varanasi and Mumbai are places with a lot of struggle, but with an incredible generosity.
@Joseph James: Thank you for your beautiful words, I am so happy that my experience was so meaningful for you. More is definitely less, especially in a place as stimulating and as desperate as Bombay. It's important to keep both feet on the ground as much as possible.
@Heike: Thank you for reading! I miss you!By
Heike r17.11.11 02:16 AMGreat article Bronwyn! Your descriptions of simple life in Mumbai, for locals and non-locals alike are great, carry on with the challenge!By
Heike r17.11.11 02:13 AMGreat article Bronwyn! I'm inspired by your passion for life!By
Joseph James17.11.11 12:55 AMAn eye opener. Your touching humility and disarming honesty are reflected in every word you have written.
'The more you have, the less you really have; and the less you have, the more you actually have.' This is one of life's paradoxes. Thanks for driving the point home so forcefully through your beautifully written post.By
Observer17.11.11 12:40 AMSince this blog post is a bit about honesty, let me be a honest and say that it made me feel a sense of worthlessness about my life. Being a person of Indian origin, I couldn't possibly imagine doing all that you're doing for society.
But this is good, because this feeling of worthlessness is going to be a preamble for major change that is going to come about in my life.
Thank you documenting your inspiring life.By
Bronwyn16.11.11 11:14 PMThanks to each of you for every insightful comment.
@Radhika: I also volunteered with Mumbai Mobile Creches for some time, they are doing fantastic work. I can totally identify with how your experience with kids on construction sites and kids living in slums was likely one of the most valuable in your life. We often have a lot more to learn than we can teach!
@Writerzblock: I am so happy and honoured that you were able to take so much from my piece and my experience! And hope you continue to read my writing.
@Libertad: thank you! :)
@Riccardo: I hear you, Mysore could be quiet. Mumbai is definitely fun. Maybe you could visit!
@Mariellen: Canadian Indophile love right back at you! There will always be sorrow in the world, but if we allow it to make us heavy, how will we be able to move forward or to dance?
@A Singh: some great points. It's true that countries like India and Nepal are full of corrupt and false NGOs: this makes it even more difficult for the earnest ones to access funding. I've also witnessed the many, many, many voluntourists who come to 'volunteer' but actually to solve something within themselves. I think it's fine to do that, but also to understand that by engaging in whatever voluntourism, you are helping yourself a lot more than others.
Mumbai is indeed a city of huge contrasts: I know women who work as teachers in Dharavi (slum area) who earn Rs 3000 (60 dollars CAD) on a monthly basis. I also know expats whose electricity bills for their luxury apartments come to more than Rs 20,000. It is an incredible and unmatched spectrum of contrasts: a lot of food for thought.
@Maddie: I agree: some of our troubles seem so small relatively. The relativity is key. I feel lucky to be constantly surrounded by people who face real challenges, which in turn reminds me how soft my life is in comparison.
@Harry: I am definitely not without selfish motives, as I described in my reasons to volunteer... Still, I am glad you were inspired by my piece. Thank you!By
HARRY16.11.11 10:05 PMDear Bronwyn
After reading your article I have come to relise, that you are a great person. Every individual in this world only does things that benifits them and their family, and no body else, but the thing that you have done is extrodinary.
Not many people would take time out of their cushy life and job, to do the things that you have done . My one thousand salam to you, because what you have done I can never do, even if given chance.
Maddie16.11.11 09:56 PMWhat a beautifully written piece.
India with all its dirt, grime, pollution,corruption can still be dynamically beautiful and inspiring.
I have not been in years and sometime I am disillusioend when I visit but I alwasy come back thankful for the life I have and grateful. I catch myself when I complain because the line @ the Cafe was too long or Traffic is horrendous. I know what the other of the world lives with and struggles and my whines seem so trivial.By
A Singh16.11.11 09:55 PMGreat post. You talk about honesty and I admire your honesty where you explain that your motives in volunteering were a bit selfish and you did not delude yourself in thinking that you would dramatically transform lives. I see too many naive, guilt ridden westerners travelling out to countries like India and Nepal thinking that they will do this. For people with specific skill sets working for some of the most reputable organsations, they may make a difference. Often though, they end up in 'charities' run not by well meaning philanthropists but hard nosed businessman making a profit. My friend in Nepal told me that many fall into this category. They were fooling the volunteers and ripping off the kids. Anyway, you do not need to leave home to do your bit. There are always options in your home country, like Big Brother / Sister in Canada, for example.
Another point I would make is that it's not so strange for you to move from a western nation to Mumbai (I understand you also lived elsewhere). No doubt you are aware that there is another Mumbai where you can drink and party as hard as you would in downtown Toronto or Vancouver. My rich cousins in Mumbai lead a far more glamorous life than I do here in London! Mumbai is the commercial crown in a fast developing, modern and enriched India. I know a couple of NRIs that are looking to relocate to Mumbai to improve their career prospects.By
Mariellen Ward16.11.11 09:49 PMMe, too, I can relate! You are someone who is embracing my favourite life philosophy: "Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world." Joseph Campbell said it, not me.
Love your writing Bronwyn!

Riccardo16.11.11 08:28 PMI am living in India since 4 years.
Before that I was coming regularly every year. I came with a strong pourpose after
finishing my music education in Italy I decide to learn more about south indian music. At the end I have learned really a lot both on the musical side and also generally on life. We ll leave soon India cauz my wife doesn't like being here...not sure were we ll go next...for sure I ll bring with me a lot. What I can see here is that there is still a huge amount of people that can actually live with the essential...this is totally lost in europe and probably this is an important "skill". Bye the way I do not live in a big city I am in Mysore in Karnataka and actually is a bit too slow !!!! Hope I ll be able to convince my wife to move in Mumbai or Dheli...By

Do never change and keep it up!!!By
Writerzblock16.11.11 07:53 PMThat was an incredibly moving article, Bronwyn. And this is a post that truly humbles the reader... God bless you for your strength, determination and the great work!By
Radhika16.11.11 07:10 PMI'm not a foreigner, but for the past few years have been driven with a passion to teach kids, and have spent few stretches of time - with kids of different ages from different backgrounds...
mobile creches - (construction workers kids) and akanksha - (teaching slum kids) including village kids in a village it Uttarkhand... and I can totally relate to the connection you feel with children. I have never experienced anything more rewarding than spending time connecting with young children.By
Bronwyn16.11.11 07:06 PM@SmallSquirrel: I hear you. If all of a sudden I could do little errands at a Canadian pace, in India, I would be thrilled! When I am enjoying the convenience of Canada though, I miss being in Mumbai.
@Melissa: glad you could identify with the article so much! I agree: why not? :)By
Melissa16.11.11 06:22 PMGreat read! Im from NY and Ive been in Mumbai for 2 years, and I must say I can completely relate.. total life changing experience. To this day many people still ask me "Why Mumbai" and I merely tell them" WHy Not" :)By
Smallsquirrel16.11.11 05:00 PMWell my reasons for going to india were quite different from yours (I went for marriage), but my feelings are the same. You have written a lovely piece here, ame that makes me miss my life back in india now that I am back in the US. Well, ok, I mostly miss it. I do not look back fondly on any one simple chore taking days on end, as you so rightly mention. :)By
Bronwyn16.11.11 03:05 PM@Max: you only get out what you put in :) thank you for reading and commenting!
@Jason: thank you!By

I admire your initiative and determination!By
Bronwyn16.11.11 02:03 PM@Sharell: thank you! I think we did have a similar start.
@Sacha: thank you for your great comment. I think you hit the nail on the head saying that India teaches you 'tolerance and understanding' for the contrasting extremes of sheer wealth and desperate poverty.By
Sacha Arora16.11.11 12:18 PMIndia sure teaches a person many lessons, one of them being appreciation for the smallest basic things we take for granted in our western world. It also teaches you tolerance and understanding for a world that combines ultra luxury with all the primitives of world we thought only existed in history....By
Sharell16.11.11 10:18 AMFantastic article. I can TOTALLY relate, right from the start of your journey. :-)

What you have done looks like it would work very well for the newsletter
editors. If what you did took about an hour, how long would it take you to
keep up with 50 local hosta groups posting each an average of 4 newsletters
per year?
This would be a great resource for newsletter editors, especially those just
starting out.
What I had in mind was newsletter editors sending whatever they easily could
in word attachments or in cut and paste e-mails and letting the other
editors saving whatever caught their interest.
I think the Hosta in Focus write up's by Kathy Guest were great. We have
room for lots more of this kind of stuff.
Why would the newsletter editors NOT want to share this information with
more people? Once an article appears in one of the newsletter exchange
groups newsletters it is available for use by any of the other editors in
the group.
The free flow of information about hostas to as many people as possible can
only help everyone involved in the growing or selling of hostas.
At Hosta in Focus two years ago Preston Littleton and I send photos from the
hospitality room. Some of these photos were less than an hour old when they
were sent. We included a small amount of text also. A woman in the room
asked what we were doing with the laptop and camera. When she was told we
were sending pictures out to 150 or so people on HostaPix she asked "Why
would you want to do that?". I thought the answer was obvious but obviously
some people just don't get it yet. I did not explain.
When the hostas come up this year I predict we will have a flow of hosta
pictures on Hosta Pix that will be truly amazing. In the long run it will
not matter if the newsletter editors share what they are doing with people
on the internet. In the next few years hosta photos on the internet and the
discussions they inspire will become the dominant source for hosta
information for those on-line. Those off-line will just have to miss out.
These are very exciting times for hosta picture and data exchange via the
Wonder how many digital cameras Santa delivers this Christmas?

Hello Carol, Dan, Giboshiman, and other interested Hosta-Open readers;
RE:>>Enhancing electronic communications (with a prototype using Kathy
As a prototype of what CAN be done, I took the liberty of posting Kathy
Guests Articles
(Part I, II, & III) under Hosta-Societies, Potomac Hosta Society, HIF 2000.
If that is
a problem, Kathy, please advise and I will remove them or add your copyright
for permission" notice. I had saved (your) her postings for quite some
time thinking
that they were sent to the group to be shared. As we know, the review of
the Hosta in
Focus - 2000 meeting that Kathy provided was exceptional.
From start to finish, it took be about 1 Hour to add the discussion topics,
create the
sub-topics, past the messages and then format them. The most time consuming
part is my
tendency for perfection with removing hard CR's -- It's nearly 100% Hard-CR
free, but
that took about 45 minutes.
To see the results, just go to the new Hosta Discussion Forum and take a
http://dev.hostahaven.com/discus is the URL.
I'm simply testing at this point...but for a means to QUICKLY distribute
articles, and
for Newsletter editors to be able to pull stories down from the net, this
works well.
A consideration, however, is that people would be releasing their articles
to the
public domain, without copy right protection, unless so requested. This
could be done,
with an entry at the top of the article that has that person's email address
Thus the requestor can quickly scan the available articles, check for a
notice, and email for permission or simply copy, paste into their preferred
processor/DTP software, and voila.
The copyright and public domain issues need comment. I am simply providing
use ideas...
This is MUCH simpler than trying to use HTML on a web page as a means to
post up and
draw down articles. Also much easier for non-techie types than using FTP.
BTW, the technology person (on the board?) of each society would be my
contact who moderates content for each society. I am happy to add
moderators if anyone
wants to experiment.

Tapioca, like semolina, is one of those things that a school kitchen could have turned you off for life. I couldn't eat it for years, having been force-fed it at primary school aged six, with tinned jam, as it oozed like frogspawn out of the bowl and I wept and retched. For years I had the same malicious feeling toward beets and mashed potatoes, which were instant and came in lumpy granules. My teacher and I had a silent war every lunchtime; a war that eventually came to an end after my parents removed me from the school. Made to your own wont, in your own kitchen, tapioca is ambrosial, and worth being a grown-up for, as is semolina. This could also be a pudding, not a breakfast, just don't serve it with dog foodlike tinned jam. Try a lovely homemade compote instead.
- Yield
- Makes 4 servings
- 1/2 cup/70 g tapioca (soaked overnight in plenty of water)
- 1 1/3 cups/350 ml milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter, plus more as needed
- 2 tablespoons runny honey, agave nectar, or brown sugar
- For the Apples and Apricots:
- 12 dried apricots (like the tapioca, soaked overnight, but in about 1 cup/250 ml orange juice)
- 1 cup/250 ml or so water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- A few tablespoons of orange juice
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey
- 2 eating apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- Having soaked the tapioca overnight, drain and place it in a saucepan with the milk, vanilla extract, and butter. Bring to a boil, turn to low, and simmer, stirring in the honey, agave, or sugar, for another 10 minutes.
- Cut your overnight magically plumped apricots into halves or quarters, if desired. In another saucepan, place the water, cinnamon, orange juice, agave or honey, and apples and bring to a boil, giving it a good stir now and then. Simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
- Now, here you can do one of two things. Serve the stewed fruit as is on top of the tapioca or put the tapioca in a small ovenproof dish with another tablespoon of butter, pour the apples and apricots on top, and bake at 350°F/180°C for 15 or so minutes. The choice, Cilla, is yours.

Seriously and without prejudice, what would, say, a Waukesha conservative put up as the ultimate community good time on a Saturday night?
I grew up in Waukesha County (I left when I was 17, although still lived there during summers until I finished college). Summer-Saturday-night-wise--I was a 4-H kid, so spent *lots* of time at the county fair, and a decent amount of time at other local little fairs. Subtract most of the ethnic food, take away the hula-hoops, add a lot more country music and classic rock, and really, it's not too different. Pretty comparable to, say, the Dane County Fair, or the Stoughton Fair. Deep fried foods, carnival rides and games, and music make for a good Saturday night regardless of your politics. Speaking of the Fete, I got my parents to come to Madison for it a year or two ago--even my conservative dad really enjoyed it (he did live in Madison in the late 60s/early 70s, though, so may be a little more accepting of the Madison vibe than your average Waukesha County conservative).
I have no idea what Waukesha County folks do in the winter for fun, though, other than go skiing at Olympia--which is quite possibly the worst ski hill around.
As a side note, bands/musicians I saw as a kid at the Waukesha County Fair include the Violent Femmes, the BoDeans, Weird Al Yankovic, Ted Nugent (I had a backstage pass to that one! Didn't meet the guy, though), REO Speedwagon, and Richard Marx.

Amen to Stephen Fry's atheism: A gentle response to his recent rant
I like Stephen Fry a lot. In fact, I'm one of his 8.6 million followers on Twitter. I like him on QI. I loved him in Blackadder. I even quite liked him in that other show where he drove around America in a London taxi. He is funny, articulate, frequently kind, and much cleverer than me. As an admirer, I'm also one of the 3 million people who viewed his recent rant against God which began on an Irish chat show and went viral (you can watch the video at the bottom of this feature).
'Why should I,' he asks, 'respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates a world that is so full of injustice and pain?'
It's a sensible question. And the answer is, of course, that he shouldn't, he mustn't, respect such a deity. And neither do I. Let's not leap to defend a god we don't believe in. We have a name for a 'capricious, mean-minded, stupid' being, but it isn't 'God'.

Brookfield Central 5, Brookfield East 2: Central's Ali Bublitz and Annie Porritt won No. 1 doubles, 6-3, 6-0. East's Emma Corwin won at No. 1 singles after Hannah Sekaran retired from the match while leading, 6-3, 5-5.

Looking forward to work with JAVEO again when a new opportunity arises.

JAVEO helped us develop 3 different applications. What I enjoyed the most was our communication process - they ensured it was as clear and transparent as possible.
Our company is satisfied with work of JAVEO professionals! We're in cooperation throughout years, and they haven't let us down a single time. They have taken care of development and maintenance of our core CRM applications.
We like working with JAVEO because of their versatility. Whichever task we supplied JAVEO with - either that was software development from the scratch or maintenance services - they came back with quick and easy-to-use solution and exceptional level of service.

By Mike Harris, AP Auto Racing Writer
WEST ALLIS, Wis. Ryan Briscoe drove through the smoke and found a little bit of redemption.
For a moment on Sunday at the Milwaukee Mile, it seemed the new Team Penske driver would wind up watching his crashed IndyCar being towed to the paddock for the fourth time in the first six races this season.
Not this time.
The 23-year-old Australian held off a late charge from Indianapolis 500 champion Scott Dixon, avoided the late-race accident -- barely -- and gave team owner Roger Penske his 300th racing win.
Four laps from the end of the ABC Supply A.J. Foyt 225, the track ahead of Briscoe was enveloped in smoke and all he could do was hit the brakes hard and hope.
"A million things went through my mind when I saw all that smoke," Briscoe said. "With a couple of laps to go, I knew how to keep Dixon behind me. I think I'd have been in tears if I didn't get through."
Just ahead of the leader, pole-winner Marco Andretti and Ed Carpenter collided, sending both into the wall. Vitor Meira, the Indy 500 runner-up who crashed in qualifying on Saturday, then drove over Andretti's car, flew through the air and slammed into the concrete barrier.
Asked how close he came to hitting Meira, Briscoe replied, "I think it was less than a foot."
Somehow, though, his No. 6 Team Penske Dallara came through the melee unscathed and Briscoe was able to drive slowly to the checkered flag under caution, claiming his first IndyCar victory.
It was a major step for Briscoe just a week after an embarrassing pit lane accident in which he took out fan favorite Danica Patrick at Indy.
"The car was just magic today," Briscoe said. "We just came through the field."
And that wasn't easy, with a 26-car field, the biggest open-wheel lineup at the suburban Milwaukee track since 27 started the 1998 CART race. Sunday's race was often a high-speed traffic jam with lots of close calls.
Briscoe, who lost his ride after a season with Chip Ganassi Racing in 2005, got another chance with Penske's team this year but crashed in three of the first five races, falling to 19th in the points before Sunday's win boosted him up to eighth, 100 points behind leader Dixon.
Briscoe dedicated the win to former Penske driver Rick Mears, a four-time Indy winner who is now a consultant for the team. Mears was honored before the race on the 30th anniversary of his first win, which came on the same track.
"I can't tell you how special it is to win my first IndyCar race on the 30th anniversary of Rick's first win," Briscoe said. "I wouldn't have won it without his advice here."
Penske said he was proud of his new driver, the 15th different winner for the team in IndyCar racing.
"I think, today, he really got the monkey off his back," the owner said. "We knew how good he was. From the standpoint of his confidence, this is exactly what he needed to break the ice."
It appeared for most of the 225-lap race that Dixon would run away to another victory, but Briscoe, who started 11th, caught the leader and passed him on lap 177. All the drivers up front made green-flag stops before the finish, but Briscoe came out of the fuel stops back out front on lap 207 and stayed there despite heavy pressure from Dixon.
Dixon, who led 147 laps to Briscoe's 36, was also happy to get through the accident without damage.
"Briscoe, you've got to give him credit," the New Zealander said. "He drove the wheels off that thing. He could really take advantage of the high line when I tried a couple of times and nearly ended up in the fence. It was the most fun I've had in a long time, to be honest."
All the top cars made it through the late crash without damage. Two-time defending race winner Tony Kanaan finished third, followed by Dan Wheldon and Briscoe's teammate Helio Castroneves.
Asked if he could have caught Briscoe in the last few laps if the caution had not come out, Dixon shrugged.
"I think it was just going to come down to how you hit traffic," he said. "With three laps more, who knows what was going to happen."
Patrick was never in contention, finishing a lap down in ninth.
"I had some understeer issues all day," said Patrick, who earlier this season became the first woman to win an IndyCar race. "This is where we as a team need to find out what the problem is and find a solution. On a good note, we finished the race, which we have not been able to do in the last two races."

The "Keep it Simple, Stupid" Method of Creating Landing Pages
Landing pages are your star players for generating leads. You need to do everything in your power to get a person to fill out your form and click "submit". Once you have their information you're golden! Or you can at least move on to the next step of segmenting your leads and pushing them down the sales funnel.
Since your landing page is the key to getting your prospective leads information you need to make sure it is PERFECT. Coppyblogger recently wrote an article, ""Keep it Simple, Stupid" Applies to Your Landing Pages, Too!" which describes some guidelines for successfully creating landing pages.
If you are interested in learning more about landing pages and how they benefit your lead generation read our ebook, "How an Inbound Marketing Agency does Lead Generation."
Define your Offer
Your landing page should be promoting a single offer. Make it your goal to focus only on one offer and do not stray away from it. Do not talk about multiple offers or other resources you provide. Focus on one objective and make it as attractable as possible.
Eliminate Distractions
Avoid using multiple graphics. You want your leads to focus only on the call to action to submit their information and receive an offer. This means emphasizing the call to action, rather than adding more images. Use visual elements that draw attention to the call to action, this may be the size, color, image, layout etc. Make the call to action as attractive as possible!
Do not use off page links. When a link brings the user to another page they are no longer engaged with your offer. If you need to bring them to another page make sure it opens in a new window so the user can easily get back to the original offer. Eliminating the number of clicks it takes for the user to receive the offer will keep them more engaged and more apt to submit their information.
Analyze Your Results
Testing different calls to action, content on the landing page, layouts, and even offers are going to tell you what you need to edit in your landing page. Compare methods you have used to each other and see where the results were coming from. It could be as simple as changing the color of the 'submit' call to action or it could be the entire layout of the page. Use all resources you have to make sure you see where clicks, and leads are coming from and why.
Overall, when you eliminate choices and unnecessary distractions the effectiveness of your landing page will increase. Make sure your overall design and layout of the landing page emphasizes the call to action. This is where you will make the sale. Once you have created a layout make sure you analyze it's process and continue to make changes to increase your leads and sales.
