Alright, I've left the lovely province of Kashmir and headed to other parts of India.... um... i start to miss Kashmir already.... compared to the crowded city of India, I really treasure the time spent idly on the House boat, reading books under the clear blue sky and warm sun, sometimes staring at the distant Himalayan mountains... (Books here in India are so inexpensive..... I just cant stop myself from buying and now my rugsack is more like a mobile library...... my recent acquired includes "PS I love you" "Tuesday with Morrie" "5 People you will meet in Heaven" "Eragon" and "Eldest", just to name a few..... all for bargain price...... this is a great reason for book lover like me to be obsessed with life here)
Talking about books, I've just finished "PS. I Love You".... i've long heard it's a good story but never find the time to read to book yet... but given the time available to me now and i want to watch the movie when i'm back in HK and know how good/bad the movie is, i chose it as my bed time reading book (remember, i got plenty of time 'sleeping' coz there are in fact, little night life here.... nights are quite boring here).... it's quite an interesting story with lots to reflect on.... No matter what happened, life has to go on.... it's more than just existing, but LIVING, enjoying life, that's an really important spirit, I wish i had read this book earlier.
Okay, back to my trip, I've spent one day in Delhi (Capital of India), it's a (relatively) modern city in India and life there are more resemble of life in CITY (have i mentioned that even Kolkata seems like a 'village'? Though it's already the 4th largest city in India)..... My stomach are quite upset after eating spicy and chilli food for 2 weeks so given the chance of so many foreign fastfood establishment in Delhi, I've indulged myself to almost every fastfood chain available, Pizza Hut, KFC, Subway and of course my favourite McDonald (all in one day).... it's really weird when there's a doorman opening for you and waiter to bring you your food to the table once they're ordered (in all fastfood chain named above)..... it feels more like a good italian restaurant than the usual fastfood that i'm having.... but anyways, this is india, so the menu is still a bit different, if not funny..... no pork or beef in McDonald, what would you order? I miss my Big Mac already....
I am now currently in Agar (after a 3 hour train from Delhi.... 3 hour is really a short ride, considering i've taken some 30 plus hours journey on train already...) Tomorrow morning i'll be waking early to see Taj Mahal with the sunrise.... today i sat on the roof top of my hotel and had a glimpse of Taj Mahal from afar already.... it's such a magnificient structure, no wonder it's voted the new 7 wonders of world..... its colour seems to change from time to time..... from pure white at noon, to pearly white in early evening and ivory at sunset.... so magical colour.....
So much for this time..... will keep on updating.
PS1. Has anyone receive my postcard? I really wanted to know.... i start to worry my post card getting lost..... Indian post are so 'good' at losing the mail.....
PS2. I've lost my mobile handsfree earlier in the trip, meaning no music for large part of my trip.... but thank God, i've found a Nokia Shop in Delhi and bought myself a new one.... Finally some good music along with my trip..... this really lighten up my trip ^^
