Hello Diary
I am travelling in India right now. It's a beautiful beautiful country. It has mountains, rivers, all green forests, amazing temples and it's full of cultures. People here are so colorful. They wear colorful clothes, paint their houses beautifully and it's color everywhere. I can't have enough of such thing.
I am loving Indian food right now. I have been a vegetarian for some time and I miss sometime having chicken and other things, but here in India, I don't miss it anymore. I love how they have too many types of spices and how they use them. I feel like I am having my special weekend dinner here. I had been grateful for some people who let me in their kitchen and taught me few of their recipes. I think I'll take few of these spices with me.
I am loving the kind of culture I am experiencing here. I am amazed how people are wearing different kind of traditional clothes in the same area. I love the Saree thing but I think I won't be able to handle it. LOL. I'll better go for the kurte and some nice bottoms. I love their designs a lot.
But I am kinda sad now, it's been a time that I have been travelling to India and it's getting difficult for me to judge people. I find myself really happy and kind towards them but I think they take it otherwise. The moment I take a cab or tuk-tuk here, the driver is always trying to have a conversation with me followed by the questions I find uncomfortable. I have been to this place called "DHARAMSHALA, and I met this really nice guy who hosted me there in his guest house and then he asked to show around and I was happy to have a friend after so long but it didn't last long. After we reached to a place, he started a conversation and through that he was trying to get to me. I was like "hello!!! I have just met you. Yeah !! I like you as a person but not like I am having any other thing in mind !!
It's getting hard for me now to talk to people, or I should say MEN. Everywhere in India, I have to deal with men only and now I even don't know that I should even smile at them. I just don't know.
Travelling alone get little tiring sometime as I get so many new people and all this knowing them, trying to understand them is so tiring and I was wishing for some nice friends along my journey but I don't think I would find any :( .
But I will still love all about India, whatever I have love. I am taking yoga and lot of spices along with me definitely <3.
This is a diary version of an actual conversation I had with a german girl who was with me for dinner last night. And I could not resist but write about it. It is so sad, that they experience such bad things In India and take those thing as pat of their memories.
I would request all the people here that don't take them easy just because they are not from India. They are humans too and have right to express. BE THEIR FRIENDS BEFORE ANYTHING AND DON'T RUIN THEIR TRUST AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!
I try to do my part and would love to have support from all you people .
Thank you :)
Great post and true too.
This part of our society is really bad and that's the fear which kills our motivation as a girl to travel alone or with a bunch of girls even.
Why can't we live freely without any fear like this.
yeah..!
and it's sad that this is how they would describe INDIA out there.
yes i agree with the german girl, we cant avoid MEN domination in India
yeah...that's one thing !!
We are sorry that you had such an experience here in India. I too solo travel in India but being an Indian I think i can make judgmemts better.
it's not me. She is german girl who met me as my couchsurfing guest. And I agree with whatever she told me.
