India To Wonder
February 15, 2015
If it’s your travel to India for the first time to India
then…. You are sure to see a whole new world inside India. People even panic
seeing all these things but for Indians it’s all about their daily lifestyle
and compulsion to maintain their livelihood.
1.
A person can talk atleast in 4 different
Language
Most of the Indians know their mother tongue
depending on which state they are born, language of neighboring state for e.g.
a guy from Karnataka will know Telegu and Tamil language, the proclaimed
national language Hindi, English—the legacy of the British, the European colony
like Puducherry has French as its official language and Diu as Portuguese. So,
the perplexing thing is that people here are equally fluent with all of them
gosh.. even I have learnt Tamil by now.
2.
Cows rule the streets – Gau matha
Hindus believe cows are symbol of Goddess
Lakshmi which means prosperity and wealth. Scientists believe the cow urine has
medicinal values and the cow dung prevents disease to enter home and that was
practiced long before the west world had proven it. But in India, they are very
liberal; all the streets would be filled with cows making their territory and
proudly giving damn about the speedy vehicles….relax enjoy and be a holy cow!!!

People pee in the public toilet that does not
have roof at all
When I entered first time to India via
Uttar Pradesh largest historic city Gorakhpur, I was felt weird when the toilet
had no roof and only covered the back and the head, chest and feet would be
visible…. There are lot of public toilets but still Modiji’s Swaccha Bharat
seems to be not practical unless the toilet is made hygienic and so much
open…it’s a private affair….

Traffic light are useless
You might have seen many trolls in facebook
already that “Red” in India means check for the police and see whether the
vehicle are coming from the other side then Go. Its really uncommon, violating
traffic rules had been the best thing I can see here thus mishaps do happen
often due to this recklessness.
5.
See the Gods walking in the street
May be they are from some drama(reckon
Aamir Khan starer P.K.’s Lord Shiva locked inside toilet) and one who dresses
like that for living. Hinduism has 33 crores Gods (Tettis Koti Devta)
whom do you wish to be? But you see only
few here….

Noise Pollution can be felt here
Nowhere in the world would you feel being
so touched with noise…indeed it not only touches you but also molests and can
get your nerves. Continuous sound of vehicle beep, the loud chatter of the
publics, big mics playing qawali and non-stop bhajan at the temple…People do
live with al these sounds and if its shut even I feel so awkward. But still the
posh areas there which can be silent as Antarctica only hear creak of gates and
BMW hush… that’s really creepy!!!

18th century train travel
Always a first timer will have the hardest
time to travel in the local transport system cause of the designs and style of
trains and buses run by state. I as a first timer when entered the train
compartment and saw the wires and pipes up the toilet I really thought yes
India still has dungeons. But the dodging thing is that its highly managed.
Indian railways boasts of having access to nook and corner of India and the classic
toy train still operates in hill station like Oooty in the south and Darjeeling
in North East India.

Spices … so many so many , even the western food
I never had such spice until I came to
India. You name it, you get it. Food without spice is no food in India. More
south you hit the spice level rises… Rice mix made up of just pure spices.
For the first timer its not only experience
to blow your tongue and brains but the next day you have a rocket to blow in
the toilet.

People are nosy and don’t mind interrupting to
others conversation
Agree or not bhaisaab some one will come to
knock into your conversation if you travelling in a public place. They don’t
mind cracking lines into your conversation even if you’re a whole stranger and
look like Indian…They really know how to give opinions and that’s always the
best free thing you get in India words…be aware some times that opinion swindle
you too….
10.
The rampant development despite the lack of
space and huge population and technological boom
I read in Quora that “People are working with
yesterday’s hardware with tomorrow’s software in India” and what I believe is
absolute truth…survey suggests India has more mobile than toilets thanks to
gigantic telecommunication houses…..On the other hand India is still developing
and massive infrastructures are rising in a surge.
The astounding facts lefts anyone who comes to India and
need to believe it you really need to travel India.
