Incredible India

"In India, I found a race of mortals living upon the Earth, but not adhering to it, inhabiting cities, but not being fixed to them, possessing everything, but possessed by nothing"
Apollonius Tyanaeus quotes (Neo-Pythagorean)
I am speachless, there are so many mixed feelings and thoughts about this country, I don't even know how to describe it, mostly I feel 3 weeks is not enough to talk about a country that has been an important piece for the construction of the world we live in now. Anyways I will dare to share what has passed through my mind, with a big disclaimer saying that this is not the absolute true about India, it is just the part that was revealed to me.
Let's start from the beginning, last August 18th I left Sao Paulo to attend the AIESEC International Congress (IC), where I was going to be trainer (faci). In total I spent about three weeks visiting Delhi, Agra and Jaipur mainly.
And the tipical question is did you like India? If I LIKE India, well I don't feel good saying that, I found it an AMAZING country, but I can't say I like it... I can only say that is a country with so much contrast especially when it comes to richnes and poverty; with so much diversity, diversity of languages, religion, culture, people...
My head is still a mess, I will try to organize my thoughts in diferent posts, there are so many things to be told!!!
