You see the grey brown crowded and unpaved roads
I see a puzzle
You are disgusted by the trash all around
I see a splash of rainbow
You sneeze passing by the spices
I taste hand-picked herbs ground by a mother’s touch, sprinkled on a farmer’s choice
You see thousands of tangled cables,
I see crawling vines in castles
You say overpopulation
Don’t lie, it felt like a celebration
Don’t be blinded by the smog—there is so much to see
Don’t be deafened by the car horns—it is a new musical composition
Lodi Gardens was not a perfect ten but it was surely zen
The journey to Karim’s was dreadful and congested, but it only took a taste of the food to take the pain away
No Advil, no ibuprofen—just a taste of Karim’s.
You saw mosques, churches, Hindu shrines and Sikh temples all overlapping each other
Delhi sure was crazy, but let’s not forget the beauty.

Andrew,
I just love this! So descriptive, honest, beautiful, positive … and funny!
Thank you! -
Andrew – I simply love your prose. Beautiful in every line.

Andrew, this is great. The way you put the opposites out there reminds me of previous posts about “choosing happiness”, choosing to see things from a positive perspective. It is heartbreaking and joyful all at once; good for you to notice that and choose to see the best.
