Namaste my friend,
Well this is day 2 in India and yet it seems that i have lived here such a long time. I always wonder what people meant when they spoke about India. All the people that i know loved it. I met a friend who had tea with us today again, he is a very wise India man, he said: " India: You rather love it or hate it".I Love it !! ;)
So what was India today: I woke up at 9 am and my first thought went to: "I am 32 today" and my second thought went to: "And i am in India... Wow". I had a lovely breakfast, when i say lovely it is not only for the food but also for the so friendly and smiley people, there is something in the air here which give you the smile. I have to say the sunshine and heat are amazing. Especially when i know that winter is taking place in Europe.
I love to see full family on bike and i love when my friend come and get Lhasa and me and we all go on the motorbike to the next door village.
In the afternoon i did shopping , i bought 4 trousers and 4 tee shirts which are amazingly beautiful and it costed 1200 indian rupees (about 18 €), i also purchase some hand made flip flop for 350 Indian rupees (5 €), it is really amazing. It seems that all this year i spend so much money on clothes and shoes.
The stronger feeling i have for the moment is Freedom, India give me the sense of it. I see many people from the rest of the world also and everyone have their own style and it matters to no one.
To finish for now i will say that even in a crowded city there is no sense of individualism or superiority. Even the Indian man living on the street is smiling. Why? Because they are so happy and grateful to be alive. Worry doesn't seem to be part of the local dictionary.So what does it do to have my birthday in India? A memory for a lifetime :) Some food for my soul :) I am happy to have made this choice of coming to India. Lhasa loves it so much she all ready go to play freely on the grass next to the restaurant. It is really great to hear her laugh at all time.
Tomorrow we are off to see the elephants.
Oh and pictures will come soon, here is one of our lunch ;)
Blessings.
