My experience of Yelahanka was very positive. It is a community with many layers that we were lucky enough to uncover through site exploration. The community members were also extremely open and welcoming throughout the process which made the whole investigation very enjoyable. -------- Shanika

The most impressive part for me was the innocent smiles form kids in Yelahanka, which affected me deeply and swept away any negative impression about India. They affectionately called me “Sister”, asked my name, and invited me to play with them by the lake··· ··· all these things will become treasured memories forever. Wherever you are in the world, even if you don’t speak the language, a smile is always the most powerful way to communicate. ------ Bao Lixia The most interesting thing I met in Yelahanka was to communicate with the local people through translation. Although I could not understand their conversation directly, I could guess the answer from their expressions and emotions. I was impressed by the friendliness and simplicity of the local people. 6
