Take all your Indian time....
Didi, Namaste, Ser, Namaskar!
After a long, long break (Internet next to our village was quite unbearable;), Nika want to post some philosophical thoughts inspired by India;) So read and enjoy;)
Carpenter will come tomorrow, and we are going to plant tomatoes tomorrow, tomorrow I will find out about the bus...
Because carpenter has a cold today (but he will be ok tomorrow), and seeds today are not available, and bus man has gone to the temple...
Forget about planning in India, and just be happy with a conscience that one day the things will be “automatic coming". Use what you have here and now, it is the best what you can do. Be open and flexible!
Be happy:
Smile about unfulfilled plans - it is the most appropriate way to deal with it.
Joke with a street vendors, who do not understand "no".
Laugh, because Indians are so sweet, so is their English, which makes conversations a real adventure ;)
Wake up with a feeling of adventure each morning, because India likes it so much to plan things for you and you never now, how and where are you going to end this day. And somehow, in the end, it makes life so much easier here.
Don’t ask why if you don’t want to get silly answers – just trust. Accept that things have their own way of being here.
Everything is possible in India – (one our friend would add “and nothing is available”) – buses are never too full, goats can be transported on the roof or as well inside the bus and chicken can be colored pink for better appearance in the weekly market. Women can bath in 4 o’clock in the morning and wake up at midnight to perform loud worshipping rituals.
Learning how to live simply – the truth is that human beings can adapt fast to different living conditions – spoons are not necessary and neither is toilet paper. You can eat rice three times a day and be very happy. How you see the things is just creature of your mind based on your experience and can be changed very easily.
