Indians can be extremely adjustable or extremely stubborn, depending
on the perception of power. Rules are created or bent at will to suit
situations. Definitions of right and wrong are never absolute, and instead
depend on the context and the desired outcome.
In India, it was hard to get the most straightforward tasks
done, amid systems that were confusing to learn.
………beauty of India is that there’s always a positive to the
negative, if you take the time to notice it.
It was another common Indian trait to always find an excuse
and never admit liability.
Indian culture lacked not only privacy, but also equality.
I soon discovered that southern Indians were particularly
enthusiastic head-wobblers.
Poverty-stricken, overburdened and uncivilised, most of Uttar
Pradesh isn’t welcoming to visitors. The state is home to the Taj Mahal and
Varanasi, two of the most popular tourist destinations in India. Yet, most of
it consists of rural farming land that is unable to support the largest population,
of almost 200 million inhabitants, in India. Crime, lack of education,
unemployment and ‘eve teasing’ (sexual harassment of women) plagues the state.
……..after taking another bus from the border, we arrived in
Kathmandu………. The atmosphere was noticeably different in Nepal. Despite being a
very poor country, a certain dignity was apparent. People greeted me with a ‘Namaste’.
Staring was minimal. And there were no rude comments ………
Why was it so impossible for anything to go to plan in
India?
