Adios Chandigarh
Bueno, aqui estoy diciendo adios a esta ciudad que me acogió por un buen tiempo, son muchos recuerdos, esta vez si tengo nostalgia y un nudo en el el pecho. Decir adios a Chandigarh no es tan dificil, lo que que si es dificil es decir adios a las personas que hicieron de esta experiencia algo mágico y real.
Ayer fui a la casa de aquella familia India que me recibió cuando llegué a India, recordamos momentos muy alegres, nos reimos de mi básico Hindi y disfrutamos como es de costumbre de una increible cena. Nunca imaginé tener una segunda familia, ni mucho menos en la India, fue algo mutuo, el cariño que ellos me demostraron fue increible, mis hermanos indios fueron realmente cercanos con los cuales aprendí muchas cosas sobre esta cultura y la forma apropiada de relacionarme con las personas que aqui vivien.
Por otro lado, Sunita, fue una segunda madre, cada dia me llevó almuerzo a mi oficina, cada dia me llamó por telefono para saber como estaba y hasta el último momento me presentó a sus amistades como su tercer hijo.
Gracias a ellos creo que mi llegada a India no fue una experiencia dura, sino que fue un suave aterrizaje en una cultura que muchas veces no es la mas cordial y amigable...
Por otro lado estan los amigos que hice aca, si bien fue un corto tiempo en el que compartí con ellos, el hecho de estar sumergido en una cultura tan intensa, con tantas dificultades dia a dia, con tantas frustraciones, la amistad que se puede lograr nace a una velocidad distinta a la que podemos imaginar en nuestros respectivos paises, fue algo mutuo debido a similitud de experiencias y acontecimientos que cada uno de nosotros vivió en India...
I just wanna say thanks to Jean, i enjoyed every second with you, we had an amazing time together, travelling all around in Asia, sharing amazing moments and laughing everyday...I also wanna say that with you i learned a lot about myself...i wont forget our parties, dancing in all our different styles, i wont forget your shoulder style and our former Ice-Coke-Indian Wine Team (i guess Olga was there)...our new year eve in the Himalayas while a bunch of indians were trying to talk to us...i wont forget the time that we share with Little Shit number 3 from the UK, he is not here anymore but i'm sure we will see him again in his Island...i will stop here, because we still have a chance to see each other in Kolkatta in a couple of days anyway...take care Little One and i hope to see you in Chile or Egypt when you'll become a really cool music magazine editor...THREE MORE THINGS
