Namaste,
I'm with my friend " Navneet " and his wife
" Prya ".
I stayed in their home during my 12 th week.
All the day, Navneet works.
I have seen again " Mina ",a student that i met
in a bus; with his friends, we have visited
a few famous sites like the mausoléum : Mahatma
Gandhi.
Gandhi is called : "the father of the nation".
He dreamed at an Indian society right and
equal for everybody.
Gandhi asked to live simply for the others live
simply.
In the middle of the town, there is " the Old
Delhi ": a great bazar is in the area. Some
thousands of small shopkeepers fill the small
streets where there are only cows and people.
be carreful with cow-dungs.
The smell of incense and spices are nice for my
nostrils.
So i love getting lost me in this maze.
The prices change quickly according to the customer .
The life isn't dear but the poverty is everywhere.
Many people earn less than 1 euro a day.
In the evening, a robber take my camera in my
rucksack, when i waited for the bus.
I had photos and vidéos that i took in the week.
With my camera, i collect the children songs.
I had not find a school for my collect, although
" Mina " and his friends had given me a contact.
It's very hot at " Delhi " for this week and i
had the " Tourista " (diarrhoea) , no comment.
When i was at Delhi in 2003, i played extra in a
film " who Lahme " from the Bollywood.
The Indians love the cinema a lot. In this film,
i watched a fashion-show at a bar with a glass of
whisky and i was well dressed.
After, with a new camera i go to " Rishikesh " which
is on the side of the Gange and the mountains of
Himalaya.
7 hours in a bus to have 230 km.
There are a lot plantations of sugar-cane. It look
like at indian corn.
The stalks are grinded to give sugar which you add
ginger, lemmon and minth ; it's delicious!!
Today, monday April 7 th i go to a collect in a
small village in the mountains where there is not
internet.
I will stay during 2 or 3 days before to get back
to the Nepal by north-east.
It will take me also 2 or 3 days by bus to arrived at
" Pokhara ".
mean while, be patient for the news !!!.
Philmilinque.
