Beautiful mosques and Hindu
temples, out of this world palaces and fairy tale castles, postcard like
beaches, some elephants and tigers and many cows and camels. Dosas, thali and
dhal. Lots of spices and masala tea. Bollywood songs and movies. Incense, colour
powder, flower petals and saris. All that and much more will keep your eyes wide
open while you are in India. But at the end of the day, after a two month
trip to this fantastic subcontinent, what
remains in my mind and my heart is the people. More than a thousand
million living together in an almost impossible balance that would just be a
miracle elsewhere. They make their country look like the cultural kaleidoscope
it really is. If India is fascinating it is because they are fascinating. If you
have been there and you think like I do that India might easily be the most
amazing country on earth, if India
enraptures you, absorbs you, thrills you, confounds you or frustrates you, do
not doubt about it for a second, it is because of its people. This page, and
these pictures, are my way of saying thank you to all of them. It is my humble
but honest homage in return for two of the most wonderful months of my life.
