Post card from my beloved India .... 4th November 2004

Street children of India

‘ BEEN HERE, SEEN IT, & DONE IT’, but that was so long ago that I longed to travel in India again. So here I am, what do I find ?

 Lots of changes, for better or for worse that is not for me to judge, however once you visit a place after a long period of absence, nostalgia  inevitable sets in. I remember living in the middle of Delhi 25 years ago, sleeping out in the open courtyard, counting the stars on hot summer evenings. Now the same land, spreading out on the outskirt of the city has been eaten away by concrete block of flats, where I can't see the day light any more. TV, mobiles and cars are the status symbols for the most middle class. But what else would I expect from the 3rd world India who is desperately trying to feed her one billion by joining in the rat race fast imported from the 1st world.
Anyway it is time for me to move on to places more sacred, more holy and less polluted by tourist like me... up North West towards Bhutan.... hope to see you there.

Love,
Davinder x
