Trying to define India is probably the most difficult task that can be given to anyone.India is the most intense place you will ever visit.
Define India?
A question that I asked myself every time whenever I ate street food, talk to a sadhu, saw various ghats here.
In a single sentence I define India as the colors, the Hindus, the Portuguese heritage,the Muslims,the christens,the Buddhists,
the varied street spicy food,the parathas and lassi, eating with the hands,various local drinks,drinking Chai at street corner while cursing Starbucks and their shit cofee,lunch at Taj hotel,eating Mumbai's famous vada pao
the ghats of Ganga, Taj mahal, the Himalayas, Sundarban plains, the Bengal tiger, Jammu & Kashmir, the Thar desert of Rajasthan, Goa beaches,
Holi- the color festival, Diwali, Muslims celebrating Eid, Durga pooja, Ganesh Mahautashav,
the Kerala Sunsets, 15 people who actually fit inside a motor rickshaw,the Jain people and not brushing the teeth to prevent killing the bactria,the flower necklaces, the chanting of mantras every morning,the constant noise, the luxury hotels, the dead heritage sites all over India, the holy dip of Ganga,the whole culture of death just being a passage of another life, recycling every item until it cannot be recycled again.
Even after all this, when you get home back and realize that your India trip has just begun....
