I stayed three months. India really is a country of paradox and extremes: strange/familiar, extreme poverty/enormous wealth, corruption/humility, chaos/system, ugliness/unimaginable beauty... but always colorful and with a feeling of being alive. I've come back with hundreds of tapes ranging from Ghazals to Stutis and Stotras, metres of saris, books (even a book about various ways of saying "hello" in India), roll upon roll of film (taken with a seriously cheap, automatic Canon camera) and a daily desire to go back as soon as possible.
