Allahabad won't leave me with so many good memories. Its a small city and the word fun doens't make part of the vocabulary. Of course I won't forget amazing times I had with my friends. The Sangam, the river, the hinduism and all those characters.
It's a great place to think about things, about your life. It can be shocking sometimes. You can see things that go beyond your imagination. All that pauverty and lack of hygiene. People struglling for some rupees and others asking for food. This is a big problem here. They are so many and so less resources. But India is growing fast and I hope they can handle this situation. But the main thing is that it makes me think about all the selfish things we carry with us. We get nuts if we loose the bus, if someone makes a scratch in our car, if the waitress is not fast enough, if the economy is not ok and Im about to loose money, if its raining... All those little selfish disturbing things which don't have any comparison with what people have to handle here. It's just retarded. We know very less, at least I didn't, of how bad could be the world.
Once I was having a tea in the street with a local friend and he said something I won't forget: "India is very poor but has higher thinking". Of course it made me laugh but its a cute idea. And most of it is true. Their culture is impregnated with philosophy of life. The eternal battle between myself and I. The illusion of life. Ego and true self. God and human.
There are hindus, muslims, christians all living in peace. People are simple and humble.
Here everything goes very slowly. No stress, just relax. Perhaps is the sun and the high temperatures :D.
Here are some pitures:
I love this picture!
