The internet here is ancient in some places..no letters on the keyboards and the wiring a web of entanglement.
The vehicles which moves the bodies around in India are either 2-3 or 4 wheels.. no matter how small or large a riksha's, a truck, or a bus ..it is the most amazing experience to see bodies hanging of it.
On a small 200 cc motorbike….mum, dad and three children fit on it, the mother in a flowing sari flapping in the wind. And every one looking so happy and laughing.
For us in the riksha's we are squashed with three together ..some riksha's fly past with 7 or 8 bodies jammed in it, half of them hanging outside
A public bus is even more harrowing to watch they move past in tremendous speeds with simply every inch packed tight, animals and all.
I have not yet managed to see the beauty in all this garbage …I am working on it and still again I shall give it all I can.
Here in Auroville we hang out the whole evening in kind of rambling but clean café Indian style ..great salads and hummus and paw-paw juice and catching up with the locals from around the world.
Everyone has a story to tell.
Walking back to the guest house in the pitch dark forest we wondered where the tigers where hiding….
