Where is the Land of Endless Possibilities?

                                                         (Part 2)   


The Indian fascinating chaos is composed,
 among other things, of   colors.


















Colors are dominant everywhere.
They enhance  the  harsh Indian people with joy and humor.
Look at the women’s clothes:


































Or at the Southern Indian  temples and at  the  religious festivities:






























Indians have a strong urge for ornamentation and beautification.
Of course, the origins go back to ancient traditions,
as can be seen by the sculptures in  old temples:





















Even Nandi, the mythological “vehicle” of the god Shiva,
is  adorned with jewels:

















Talking about  Indian vehicles, 
they are often  ornamented with humor.
There is a wide scope for  individual creativity.
Whether it is the tradional  vehicle -





























Or a modern one - 















































There is more to come.
Bye for now, 
and see you in the next post

Where is the Land of Endless Possibilities?

                           (Part 1)

No, it is not the USA!
Columbus did miss it by then…
It is India!











I have just been there again. 
This time I was in the South. 
Don’t leave! I am not going to tire you
with a travel report,
but to share with you some of my personal impressions:
























Talking about the Indian way of
“Endless Possibilities”,


here are some examples:


























In spite of the typical image of misery,
we, the people from the western world have,
Indian village people do not look sad.
They smile a lot, and are very friendly.
They like to communicate.
They ask you to take their picture
and invite you to their homes.
They are curious about the tourists

the same way we are curious about them!



































This is enough for now, because 

                                           Valentine’s Day
                                            is approaching!
