Namaste
Happy Christmas to everyone, I hope you all had great time and that Father Christmas has bring you the Love ,peace and Joy that you deserve.
On this day we went to Ganesh temple and Lhasa had the great luck to get on the elephant, the taxi driver was a friend of the man and took Lhasa to get on. She loved it but said the hairs are really hard on his head and it was hitching :)
The manual washing machine make me think that the modern world make us stop to think and so make us stop all appreciation. I had to go fill up the bucket of water to fill in the washing machine and I am going back to push the button “Spin”. I love it.
We manage anyway to have a warm shower by heating up some water on the gas and put it all in a bucket; it made us laugh so much.
Apart from that, hopefully in a previous life I experienced being a princess in India, oh i mean a cow. Yes literally a cow. They are having a great life here and they are pretty and fat :) They are the princess of the road as you have to stop and wait they cross the road even in the city or on the high way. Lhasa really loved them but she is too afraid to touch them.
Regarding the police here it is really funny, today they were playing badminton and they are so smiley. Everyone is so smiley here.
There are many people from abroad here but the exchange and life seems to be a good between the Tamil people and the rest of the world.
I am lucky because my friend here is Hindi so we are buying everything half price which obviously mean that I have bought enough clothes for a life time :) and so did Lhasa. Also I went to do some ID picture and the guy came with a small digital camera and I had to stand against the wall and smile.. When I think we make it all so complicated back in Europe. I will see tomorrow the result of this photo.
I didn’t have the feeling of wanting to change the world here even so there are many people begging for money, especially outside the temple. I see people here are quite generous and many of the Hindi don’t hesitate sharing their money. It hasn’t occurred to me to try to change the Indian world. In exchange it has occurred to me to reeducate myself on real life.
I haven’t take many picture yet because I want to take everything with my eyes first. And make it all real. I will do soon.
I hope everyone is feeling great; we will be back for the next adventure :)
