Will I ever go back?

 

216^TH DAY BACK FROM INDIA

“yes”

Do you know …..I think about that trip and I imagine that if I went again I would handle it better. Occasionally I catch myself thinking what a beautiful place it would be to live. Am I crazy??! No- I think the residual feelings and thoughts are ……of colour ……and food …..and people who are gracious and sweet and gentle ….even if they live in hardship or squalor.  I think the time has come to start reliving the experience… Watch This Space.

 

 

 

Will I ever go back?

 

111^TH DAY BACK FROM INDIA

“No…but I will remember it fondly… there are other places I wish to visit and I have so little time so ‘No’.”

There are not many days that go past when I do not have a moment’s thought about that trip to India.

Today it seems a dream ago…a fairytale and a moment in someone else’s past.

Did I really go to the magical country with a thousand colours?

Well it is a memory after all. I now do not remember the horrid things… the smells… the heat …..

but I still remember the pollution.

I wish never to see New Zealand’s water ways filled with pollution foam and plastic bottles. I think that a country of so many people could easily make it a mission to clean the streams. And that is all I will say on that matter…. It is not my country and I do not know enough to make any further uneducated comments.
