It's good to be back home. During our passage to, around and back from India, we stayed in eight hotels and took seven flights, five minibuses, two cycle rickshaws, one train, two taxis (not counting local taxis in Goa) and now have four pairs of tired feet.
Returning to the those thoughts and questions which came to mind when we arrived at Delhi airport about being able to see the real India. I don't think we did. We caught short glimpses and saw fleeting shadows. We may have gone along with flow but we didn't see the undercurrents.
There are many Indias and we saw some of them, mixed together, too difficult and too complex for us to decode and understand.
"We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open." Jawaharial Nehru.
