India

The very first thing you experience when you land in India is its smell. The smell is hard to describe or explain, because it is mixed with so many different things; spice, incense, curry, diesel fumes, etc. This is actually my 3rd time to visit India, but the smell has been the same as usual, welcoming all the people equally and fairly.

When I was in Mumbai last year, I didn’t stay here long enough to experience nightlife, because I knew it was expensive to go out in this city (even though it is in India, Mumbai is a different world in terms of money). But this time, I have to do my job. So I went out to this live music café called “Blue Frog”. and what surprised me at most was the technology used to establish this atmosphere. It was such a shame that I never expected something like this from India before. But the price was as high as I expected and it got me so down. On the way back to the hotel, I was in the cab. The landscape that I saw from the window of the cab was completely opposite from the atmosphere that I was in at the club. I think nightlife is a symbol of your wealth and power in this city.
What I look forward from India is spiritualism that comes from its deep history and culture.
