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.

Hi, after reading this awesome paragraph i am too glad to share my experience here with mates.
My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find almost all of your post’s
to be just what I’m looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write
content for you personally? I wouldn’t mind composing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write about here.
Again, awesome web log!
I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog
that’s equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell
you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue
is something that not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about.
Now i’m very happy I found this during my search for something regarding
this.
It’s actually very difficult in this busy life to listen news
on TV, so I only use world wide web for that reason, and take the latest information.
Stunning story there. What happened after? Good luck!
When I initially left a comment I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on each time
a comment is added I get 4 emails with the exact same comment.
Perhaps there is a means you can remove me from that service?
Cheers!

Hiya! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask.

Thank you for the good writeup. It if truth be told was once a leisure account it.

By the way, how could we keep in touch?
Great post. I used to be checking constantly this blog and I am inspired!
Extremely helpful information particularly the remaining phase :) I care for
such info much. I used to be looking for this particular information for a
very long time. Thank you and good luck.
Fantastic goods from you, man. I’ve understand your stuff previous to

what you have acquired here, certainly like what you’re
stating and the way in which you say it.
You make it enjoyable and you still care for to keep it
sensible. I can’t wait to read much more from you.
This is really a great website.
Everything is very open with a clear description of the issues.
It was really informative. Your site is extremely helpful.
Thank you for sharing!
I read this piece of writing completely regarding the difference of latest and previous
technologies, it’s amazing article.
I still remember the moment a friend recommended me this
new gaming platform that looked different from
anything I’d tried before.
Honestly, I was skeptical, but the crazy number of titles — more than enough choices to last a lifetime —
caught my attention.
Getting a matched deposit + a pile of spins felt surprisingly generous, and after making
the first deposit, I finally understood why people talk
about good bonuses.
The requirements weren’t exactly relaxed, but I just treated it
like part of the experience.
What really caught me emotionally was how smooth the withdrawals were.
Within 24–72 hours, I saw the payout confirmed, and
honestly, that’s when the platform won me over.
The VIP program was another unexpected thing.
I’m not usually someone who climbs loyalty tiers, but the cashback percentages actually felt meaningful.
Getting back regular cashback packages felt like someone handing me a second chance, and I kept
playing more confidently.
The game variety overwhelmed me at first — in a good way.
Every session felt different because the library was massive.
Sometimes I’d switch from roulette to video slots, and the
platform always had something fresh.
What also surprised me was that they even accepted modern digital
currencies.
For me, fast transactions matter, so the smooth processing made the whole experience feel modern.
Of course, it wasn’t perfect.
The VIP climb took time.
And the licensing details were not visible upfront.
But emotionally?
Despite the flaws, I kept coming back.
If you’re reading this because you’re
curious, from my own experience — I found real entertainment value here.
And yes, you’ll see the link I mentioned, so give it a look if you’re curious.
An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a coworker
who has been doing a little homework on this. And he actually ordered me dinner simply because
I stumbled upon it for him… lol. So allow me to reword
this…. Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending time to discuss this issue here on your site.
I’m gone to convey my little brother, that he should
also go to see this web site on regular basis to take updated from latest
gossip.
