India

I've always wanted to go India. I think it's the most beautiful place in this world. Although, I must recognize that today, the ideas associated with this country are the child famine, the VIH, poor distribution of wealth and the growing empire of technology. But, I'm talking of another India. My India begins in my childhood, when secretly I read Arabian Nights, full version. It has scenes about wonderful landscapes when the caravans were able to leave the desert. There were luscious fruits, delicious delicacies and very special women.

Then, in my adolescence India was a place where had been planned the noblest of religions, Hinduism. Searching in the human task, looking the things that really exist and we used to ignore. There are images in my mind, of a rest in a thick vegetation, with incense-scented, sweaty skin and flies everywhere. I think there must be many kind of teas and that the odors of their boils permeate places.

If I go to India, I would not return. I would be isolated in a monastery and live this culture for ever.
