Now for those who followed my blog the last time and tried following it again this time you must be thinking what happened. Where are the pictures and the updates? Well to be honest I'm asking the same question, what happened? I can't really find an answer though. I thought may be its because we travelling too much, or we moving too fast to actually digest everything that we seeing. May be its fatigue from the constant travelling, both in India and because maybe two separate long tips in Asia can be a bit much. Maybe it's because I'm worried about having to get back to reality once I'm back home. Maybe its hard to write because I'm in India and many people following have been here already and so I feel there isn't really anything new to write about. Maybe its because this time, for the first time I'm in a different country with my whole family, maybe its because this time my experiences and memories are not mine alone to claim, maybe its because I feel stifled with my family, maybe it's because I I'm not alone I don't feel the need to have to update where I am and what I'm doing so that people know I'm ok. Maybe its because most people at home are already updated on how we are and what's going on through the rest of my family. There are many reasons and possibilities why I did not feel like blogging this time and I probably will never truley know why I didn't feel like updating, but I guess it's ok sometimes to not constantly have to share what you doing and instead actually experience the adventure. Do not fear there are plenty of pictures that tell many stories of my journey you'll just have to visit me to hear all about it this time.
So as this journey comes to an end I look forward to going back home, I look forward to seeing everyone again and going back to some normality, I will never burry my suitcase or even my backpack but for now I will put it in storage at least for a little while untill I hit the road once again.
So as a final note, India truley is incredible. When I first landed my first instinct was that it was a rich country and while I have only seen and experienced 10% of India I most certainly believe that it is one of the richest countries I've visited so far.
India is rich in it's colour, from peoples houses, to the sarees worn and clothes hanging from self made washing lines on top of roof top terraces, even the litter lying on the ground is colourful. India is vibrant with colour there is no conner of India that is not splashed with colour. It's rich in culture and religion from the man with a mindir no matter how small in his shop and his house to the thousands of people who will stand in a crowded, cramped, hot and sweaty que for hours just to see 5mins of the inside of a temple and pray for blessings. India is rich in it's landscape from mountain tops to river banks and sea side beaches. It is rich in history from emperors to kings and queens and it's fight to indipendance. It is rich in technology and electronics. But most of all it is rich in its people, from the farmers in the villages, to the beggars on the street, to the hard selling street vendors that don't know what 'no' means, to the rickshaw guy who sometimes drives on the wrong side of the road, there are so many personalities and characters it is impossible to list them all.
And so India might not be the wealthiest country in the world but from my experience it is most certainly is one of the richest countries.
