We had a remarkable visit to Delhi, resulting in a deeper appreciation of the variety in the world. Here were people who were completely unfazed by things that Westerners would find traumatic: got a heavy load? No problem...pedal rickshaw. Got 20-foot fencing material? Strap it to your motorbike, extending front and back. Large party? Cram in! Something bulky in large crowds? Carry it on your head. People in the direst of circumstances making do and continuing to do the best they could.
Apart from the can-do attitude, there was humor. The kids saw an enraged cop kick the side of their taxi to give vent to his frustration. The use of images of gods to prevent public urination...simple, effective, and funny!
We were unanimous in our appreciation of potable water, clean air, and escape from the never-ending noise! Most of all, we were so, so happy to have had the opportunity to visit this amazing country.
Love,
Alexandra
