It was very very hot in the western side of India in Mar.  Whenever we were very tired and hot after long hours travelling, we always discussed why not go northern Japan to have hot spa under the snow, how could go Turkey was the original plan and came out India was the final destination and I joint them by accident.  We never know how was the conclusion drawn - go India for holiday in Mar.

 

If you cannot imagine how the cows, the Camels, Donkeys, Horses, Bicycles, Tuk Tuks, Trucks, Vans, Bus, Peoples, Sheep, Goats, Dogs, Peacocks, Birds, Monkeys, Ugly Pigs and lot of Flies......... use the same road for travelling, you will understand how this transportation system works in India! Amazing.

 

The Forts, the Havelis, the buildings and the Palaces could be painted with extremely fine paints and art works; the cloth can be made with very detail, fine and beautiful patterns, but I don't understanding why the country can run without order, without structure and system, it is different from what they like to have beautiful things with pattern and well designed.  

 

All living organisms are living together and human seems not doing much disturbance on the ecosystem, they throw the rubbish everywhere and let the cows and the animals around to manage it.  Cows eat everything on the street and shit everywhere.  It would be horrible in rainy days I am sure. Avis asked the question about the rubbish before, her guide answered these all are organic rubbish, no harm to the land.

 

Hindus are really crazy to all Holi Lakes and Rivers, ladies and men are well covered their bodies all the time but when they bath in the holy lake, they undress at lake side, wrap with thin and big cloth or towel and bath in the lake (the water is very dirty.) In Hong Kong, our government warns us the stream water have amoeba that will go into our eyes and do not wash the faces and drink. Their lake water.. may be too toxic for all living organisms. There are many big cat fishes in the lake. But how can the animal and people's bodies to resist all these unknown bacteria and germs??? -->   Must be the power of their religious.

 

Everyday we dine with so many flies, the flies stick on the shits, land on the animals and then land on our food. >< 

 

The poor children smiled at you, around you and asked for school pens.......I met a little boy he was really a good actor as he could speak with tear in the eyes, our tour guide shout to him and this boy ran away.

 

Our driver always said to me "ah ku li er", he didn't explain what is it. But now I know the answer.

 

At nights, the moon was so bright that all the stars were dim, Avis and I couldn't finalise the starry plan but we did talk a lot when we two share the bed together just before sleep.  That was good......... suddenly I find I know her for many many many years!

 

gossips, people, some stories...........to be continue!

 

Many questions about what I see in this country, will explore more.........

 

If I made spelling mistakes, pls forgive me.

Part Two

Avis and Della are still working in PMS, I had worked in PMS, so sometimes we three talked about SAP, about abnormal operation feature in PMS and other interesting things in the division, hope Wendy and Ric did not feel bore.  Actually, only the first two days we three could not stop mention matters about company, but soon our talking topic were no more companies.........

 

Everyday we had omelets or boil eggs, Masala Chai and toast for breakfast, then Naan, Roti or Chapati, Curry Mutton, Masala Mixed Vegetable or Masala Mushroom, Plain Rice, Tandoori Chicken, mushroom, vegetable and sweet corn chicken soup for lunch and dinner.  Later we had Tangri Kababs that is quite delicious.  The first three days, we all were quite okay for the same menu, however, after four days, five days, we seemed not much eager to read the menu and order the food, especially for me.  I don't know if I took some Lassi or cold drink with the ice water or too much curry, my abdomen started not going well and had a bit diarrhea. As it was not so serious, I just stop having milk product and ate very little for about two days.  I remember I said to them "Can we borrow their kitchen for just stir fire some vegetable for lunch or dinner?!", Of course, they didn't entertain me.
