Sperperato in poco tempo il nostro stipendio da star, Mumbay e’ forse la citta’ piu’ cara dell’India, siamo ripartiti verso nord questa volta via treno. Purtroppo la velocita’, che si viaggi in treno o in pulman, non cambia, si aggira sempre intorno ai quaranta chilometri orari e per percorrere poche centinaia di chilometri si impiegano nottate intere.
Vi basti pensare che i treni viaggiano con le porte aperte, con i bambini con le gambe fuori a penzoloni e i corridoi con la gente costantemente pressata.
Ma e’ proprio la non velocita’ dei mezzi che salva l’India dall’avere un tasso di incidenti elevatissimo, guidano tutti come….non ho le parole per descriverlo, pazzi non rende sufficientemente l’idea, ma per fortuna, quando inevitabilmente si scontrano, vanno talmente piano che i danni solitamente sono irrisori.
Dopo la solita nottata di spostamento piu’ vari altri pulman sgangherati siamo arrivati alle grotte di Ellora e Ajanta. Una serie di templi scavati nella roccia della montagna di una bellezza veramente suggestiva. Blocchi di roccia enormi perfettamente lavorati e raffiguranti le varie divinita’. La particolarita’ di Ellora e’ proprio quella di poter visitare, a pochissima distanza l’uno dall’altro, templi buddisti, hinduisti e gianisti. Nessuno ha costruito sul tempio altrui, ognuno ha occupato il suo pezzetto di montagna…ma purtroppo, nella storia indiana, non sempre le numerosissime e diverse religioni hanno convissuto insieme pacificamente.
Ce lo spiega anche Tommaso, amico torinese, incontrato, dopo la visita alle grotte, ad Ahmedabad, capitale del Gujarat.
Tom e’ qui in India per un dottorato in storia, si occupa di studiare l’evoluzione della citta’Â negli ultimi anni e la convivenza delle varie comunita’ religiose. Ahmedabad e’ tristemente nota per essere stata sede, nel 2002, di uno dei piu’ grandi scontri tra musulmani e induisti che causo’ la morte di migliaia di persone.
Ne abbiamo parlato anche con Sonia, ragazza italiana incontrata presso l’Universita’ Ghandiana, dove sta portando avanti un ambizioso progetto con l’obiettivo di fare dialogare tra di loro le dodici comunita’ religiose presenti in citta’. Ci siamo cosi’ trovati a trascorrere un pomeriggio a casa sua, in un piccolo appartamento, a chiacchierare con esponenti di diverse religioni, parsi, induisti, musulmani, gianisti…atmosfera interessante e straordinariamente pacifica.
Grazie all’ospitalita’ di Tommaso abbiamo potuto godere per qualche giorno di una casa vera e della vita di quartiere di una citta’ indiana dove di stranieri ne vedono passare ben pochi.
Pare che il padrone di casa di Tom, saputo del nostro arrivo e del nostro viaggio intorno al mondo, abbia esordito con questa frase:”Allora non dobbiamo spargere la voce con i vicini, gia’ ci sara’ abbastanza confusione tra giornali e televisioni!!”…dal suo punto di vista non potevamo che essere delle persone famose se stavamo facendo un viaggio del genere :-)
Nonostante questo, ogni persona della zona, sapeva di noi. In India non esiste il concetto di privacy, d’altronde non esistono spazi non affollati, ogni volta che uscivamo di casa c’era tutto il quartiere pronto a salutarci e a chiederci dove andavamo.
Per il bene di Tom, ma come ormai siamo abituati a fare qui in India, ci siamo presentati come una coppia sposata, altrimenti saremmo stati mal visti e ho quindi ricevuto in dono dei braccialetti di origine bengalese che portano tutte le donne sposate.
E’ stato molto interessante osservare la vita di quartiere e, anche se avevamo molti occhi puntati su di noi, abbiamo conosciuto belle persone di un’ospitalita’ eccezionale.
Il 22 marzo, per festeggiare l’inizio della primavera (veramente ci sono gia’ 40 gradi!) e il compleanno di Pablo nel migliore dei modi, abbiamo partecipato alla festa dell’Holi!
La romantica citta’ di Udaipur con i suoi palazzi sul lago e le viuzze strette e poco trafficate (sempre per gli standard indiani) ci e’ sembrata una buona location per la festa piu’ colorata dell’India, dal mattino al pomeriggio tardi, chiunque si avventuri per le strade delle citta’ viene colorato dalla testa ai piedi, macchina fotografica inclusa.
Ogni attivita’ commerciale chiude i battenti, spuntano bancarelle che vendono colori naturali e pistole ad acqua per i bambini ad ogni angolo, anche se, come abbiamo potuto constatare di persona, i secchi d’acqua sono molto piu’ gettonati.
Per non rovinare i nostri vestiti ci siamo comprati degli abiti bianchi e appena usciti dall’albergo, dopo pochi minuti, eravamo completamente ricoperti di colore, dei quadri astratti viventi, come se stessimo partecipando ad una performance d’arte di strada.
Neppure le sacre mucche vengono risparmiate nel giorno dell’Holi, e i colori rimangono su muri e animali per i giorni a venire.
Giovani, vecchi e bambini tutti partecipano e si colorano a vicenda e, ovviamente, i turisti sono tra i piu’ attaccati, solo le donne indiane non si vedono quasi mai per la strada, solo a volte, timidamente affacciate alle finestre.
Noi ci siamo divertiti a partecipare a questa specie di “carnevale” indiano, dopo un paio di docce siamo tornati bianchi come prima, ma con il ricordo indelebile di tutti i colori dell’India per un giorno sulla nostra pelle.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and
tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she
can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and
she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

This engagement drives innovation and enhances overall performance.
One of the primary challenges in achieving business agility is resistance to change.
Employees and leaders may be accustomed to traditional ways of working and hesitant to
adopt new approaches. Overcoming this resistance requires effective change management strategies, clear communication, and strong leadership.
Achieving business agility requires a workforce with the right skills and expertise.
Organizations may face challenges in finding and retaining talent with the necessary
capabilities to drive agile initiatives. Investing in training and development
programs is crucial to building an agile workforce. Technology plays a vital
role in enabling business agility. However, outdated or
inadequate technology can hinder an organization’s ability to adapt quickly.
Investing in modern, flexible, and scalable technology solutions is essential to support agile practices and drive innovation.
Organizational silos can impede business agility by creating barriers
to communication and collaboration. Breaking down these silos and
fostering a culture of cross-functional teamwork is critical to achieving agility.
Your style is unique in comparison to other folks I’ve read stuff from.
Many thanks for posting when you have the opportunity, Guess I’ll just bookmark this blog.

Hi there! I know this is kind of off-topic but I needed to ask.
Does operating a well-established blog such as yours require a large
amount of work? I’m brand new to operating a blog but I do write in my
diary daily. I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my own experience and views online.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring

Normalerweise kommentiere ich selten, aber nach dieser Lektüre fühlte ich mich direkt motiviert zu reagieren.
Die Mischung aus Tiefe und Einfachheit in deinem Stil hat mich wirklich beeindruckt.
Der wichtigste Punkt für mich ist, dass du schwierige Themen leicht zugänglich machst.
Du hast einige interessante Punkte angesprochen, über die ich noch nachdenken werde.
Ich hoffe wirklich auf weitere Beiträge von dir! Dein Blog gehört für mich schon jetzt zu den interessantesten Quellen.
First off I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if
you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and
clear your head prior to writing. I have had a tough time clearing my
thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted
just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Many thanks!
You obviously put a lot of consideration into this piece,
and it comes across beautifully

Touche. Solid arguments. Keep up the great effort.
I believe everything said made a great deal of sense. But, consider this, suppose
you added a little content? I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website, however what if you added
a headline that makes people desire more? I mean Mondovisione » Tutti i colori dell’India is a little plain. You might peek at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they write article
headlines to grab viewers to click. You might try adding a video or a
picture or two to grab people interested about what you’ve got to say.
In my opinion, it might make your blog a little livelier.
