..india impressions - new delhi...

  • a women in sari kneeing to paint the street border with white paint
  • the Monkey God as a giant orange statue with its tail raised reaching the shoulders, at an traffic intersection
  • a mother with 3 kids, 1 who was breast-feed and the others 2 small girls maybe 3 and 4, who were doing gymnastics, like at circus, to please the drivers and earn a couple of rupies
  • the green streets, due to the luxuriant vegetation/ the pollution made by cars/ the dust/ the red betel spits on the walls and on the streets/ the dirtiness/ the metro being build
  • green or white marble, otherwise very expensive in Europe, covering shabby houses and regular markets floors
  • the Muslims/ the Hindu/ the Tibetan people
  • The Nazamudyn area/ the Choudi Chowk/ the red fort/ the people sticking on you trying to convince you to go to their shops
  • the moto-rickshaw and the bargain process, the small thefts/ the traffic jams and the no rules at all traffic
  • eating with your hands and having nothing else than waxed napkins ..the rice with curry making yellow the parts under your fingernails …
  • the Lodi’s Graden/ the huge palm trees and other luxuriant vegetation/ the mausoleums/the green parrots/ and the small squirrels that were not squirrels
  • a women in red sari caring stones on her head to move them in another place
  • the fly of eagles, the red sunrise/ the pollution blanket above the city/ the yellow intense disc of sun
  • the shawls/he pashmina/ the beautiful wooden handcrafts that were so cheap
