I created an album honoring the amazing experience I had in India. That was my first post in this blog: … a Journey called India, my book! which has the compilation of pictures and a few thoughts that I took and wrote, while realizing a dream, a big one … a dream that took me to the other side of the world, just to see, smell and feel what India is like …
Why India? … I don’t even remember the moment in which I decided to pursue this dream, I just found myself loving a country that I’ve never visited before … it was yoga, it was the “largest democracy” in the world, it was their colors, their food, their religions, the way they dress, their music, their mysticism … I don’t know, but I had to be there …
I haven’t travel as much as I would like, 3 countries in Europe, (Italy, Spain and France – a few cities in each country -), some cities in USA, and a few more in Canada … besides my own country, Mexico, I haven’t had the chance to visit another developing country so I knew what to expect in India regarding the poor conditions… I knew how it feels to see tough images of the poor, and their living conditions…
Well, since I love photography, and since I love my yoga, and since I also love this mysticism that I felt India had, I wanted to explore a bit of everything, unfortunately for a month and a half it was going to be hard to do all what I wanted to do, but I decided to enjoy it as much as I could! And I was absolutely surprised by what I found!
It was the trip of my life! (so far) … once back, it took me a while to get used to Vancouver again, actually to the people mostly … our behaviors are different! .. I loved the way Indians looked at me. They looked into my eyes in a different way … people keep asking me about the highlights of this trip … it’s just hard to pick a few moments! India has lots of problems, but their spirituality, traditions, the way they see things, they are just “alive” all the time, no matter what … I met tourists that were very disappointed by the country, but I also met tourists that just decided to stay for a few more “months” there! (I wish I could do that!) … India has been the most interesting country I’ve ever visited, I met fantastic people there, I made good friends, and somehow I feel that I went to India to meet with myself, maybe a past life, maybe my heart was so open that I felt that way … I came back happy, inspired, with a new God to pray to, with a new perspective of life! .. Namaste!
