Although I know I have no followers right now and no one is reading my blog, I still want to write. So I decided to chose one topic and write about it. So today, an Indian young man was at our home accompanying our computer guy that was here to work on our laptop. He asked me "what do you like about India?" The first thing that came to my mind was "It is magical". He kind of laughed at me because I don't think he understood what I meant by that. So I told him. I think India is magical because of all the animal life we see every where. I think it is magical because of the beautiful plant life, and the big bold bright colors that people wear here. I mean, the women wear these beautiful Saris that are so full of "bling" and "color". Even the women that are street cleaners wear their lovely colorful Saris to work in. I find that every day in India is an adventure. I love the fact that I can walk out of my house and see a few monkeys sitting on the light post of my apartment building, or I can walk down the street and along come trotting a bunch of donkeys. Of course, I don't want to leave out the cow meetings that frequently take place on my street. One day I even saw a goat standing on the roof of a car stretching his neck as far as he could stretch it to bite off the lowest hanging leaf from a tree. I mean...how often does one see that? I have seen an elephant walking down the street, monkeys in skirts jumping through hoops on the streets. I see every living thing share the road with cars here. Not only do we have to watch for cows strolling in the middle of the road going the wrong direction (they don't know they are going the wrong direction), but cars share the road with people (lots of them), animals of every kind like donkeys, monkeys, elephants, dogs, and cows. Cars share the road with bicycles, ice cream push carts, carts being pulled by animals and Rikshaws. I also see many street children begging for money. They tap on my windows and motion for food for their mouths. I have never seen such busy, occupied streets as they are in India. There are always interesting things to see. Every day is an adventure! That is why I love India. All of the above makes it magical. That is why I love India.
