Oh sweet, or spicy, India!February 22nd, 2007 @ 9:02 am
Tonight I have found myself crying because I will probably never go to India. Probably never.
India has been a huge part of my life for years now and I know everyone thought it was just a phase but India has overcome and BEcome a staple in the way I think, the way I live, and the way I wake up every morning to greet the sun. Hinduism has molded me, finally, into a somewhat emotionally stable person who revels in life, its lightness and its darkness, its perfection and its evils. India has guided me to my own personal love and adoration for her. Hinduism has guided me to my own inner peace and identity with the divine.
I would absolutely DIE to go to India. A lot of people say horrible things about India like…”Oh! You will get diahrreha! People piss in the streets in India! The Ganges is so dirty, dead bodies are in there! Indians stink, why would you want to go there? Arent you afraid of terrorism? Shouldnt you be afraid because you are white? Why would you want to go to India???!!”
I would probably get diahrreha if I went to India. The shits are nothing new to me. I would be absolutely elated to get the green apple splatters..IN India.
My boyfriend pisses on the streets here.
Im sure there have been more than a few bodies pulled from the Cumberland river.
I would be no more afraid of terrorism there than I am here.
Why would I be afraid to go to India because I am white? Indians love gori’s.
I want to go to India because it is unlike any other place all over the globe. I want to see the contagious smiles of Hindus, I want to feel the hustle and bustle, the rickshaw rides, I want to buy a murti of Ganesh from a street vendor, I want to see the bright colors of the textiles, I want to experience the raw spiritual culture that is India and has MADE India unlike anywhere else for an eternity. But most of all, I want to experience the land that I have spiritually identified with for the better years of my life. Just to see the sun in India, my life would be complete.
So, whats keeping me from going there? I dont know. But I seriously think I am going to suck it up, save money, and FUCKING GO TO INDIA. Im gonna find out how much it is, and work my ass off saving money until I can go for about three weeks. I keep saying, every year that im gonna go. But I HAVE to go. There is no way I could leave this world still wondering what it is like to visit India. You really only get to consiously live life once and…God..I couldnt imagine…

Then I say go to India! The hell what others think about it. o_O I haven’t been to India, but it’s one of the places I used to be fascinated with. Don’t ask.

If you would still like some company… or maybe I could just stop by, I don’t know if I’d be able to go for 3 weeks, maybe 2. I know it doesn’t mean as much to me as it does you, but damn is that place beautiful.
If you find out roughly how much it is to go, let me know! Me and Kristen planned to go to Amsterdam and I think it was only 2,000. And you know, I turn 21 soon. hahaha.
