Muscle Percentage In Body

Hello India ...

The impact of India was intense. The first breath of air fills the lungs moist, dense, smelling of the sea. Confusion, noise, people everywhere, and are only 5 in the morning. How many things we have to learn.
After long queues at customs and an hour of waiting to retrieve our luggage, landed between the metal trunks and boxes packed with rough string of colorful plastic, our taxi waiting for us at the exit.
separate us from the ashram for a couple of hours Amritapuri. It will be tired, but it's like a plunge into madness: Buses that seem to drive like mad in a video game, motorbikes and overloaded rikshow, breathtaking overtaking and the horn ... to warn of your arrival, overtaking, and for all nothing ... as the surreal orchestra concert, which merges with the speakers oversized temples, which spread to every corner of the devotional songs. Houses that are little more than shacks, cobbled together with metal and plastic, garbage everywhere, people living on the street. Cows killed and sold in pieces to the edge of traffic, with his head resting on a box right on the ground. The colors are faded at dawn by an intense fog that you also feel on the skin. From time to time the smell is attacked by strong odors, smog, factory rubber fish (children can not help but mention Asterix), waste, and many more unknown to us.



The moisture that we axle and that teaches you to maintain a presence in every breath, for you to cross from the heat, your body does not know. Men who spit on the ground, brush their teeth, urinate and blew his nose, where you'll have to try to walk or sit.

It 's almost impossible to think, because the mind is thrown off and all the energy is committed to finding new ways to adapt.

the sun comes out, and the heat is heavy, all of a sudden get a "small" monsoon and suddenly it rains, and the air is cool (what a relief!), It stops raining and the humidity Back to office, as well as flies (... never seen so many flies) so many, that ti dai la pena di cacciarle solo quando ti si posano sul viso e sul boccone che stai per mangiare.

Così è l'umore, altalenante, tante emozioni, in questo mondo sconosciuto e provante. E tanti occidentali che incontriamo ci ripetono fieri " e questo è il Kerala, la " la Svizzera indiana" come dire che non abbiamo visto niente e noi ci crediamo, anche se sinceramente...

Vogliamo essere sinceri su quello che abbiamo provato e sui mille dubbi che ci hanno assalito in questa folle terra.

Quando meno te lo aspetti però, arriva un dono, due occhi neri e profondi, un sorriso veramente felice nell'incontrarti, famiglie intere che si avvicinano chiedendoti di te, chi sei, cosa fai nella vita e su che classe frequentano i tuoi bimbi, poi stringendo la mano a tutti ti salutano augurandoti buona giornata.

E così che mi lascia un padre di famiglia con quattro bimbi,veramente estatico nel conoscerci... Senza parole, nella mia diffidenza, già pronto a difendermi da qualche minaccia, nella mia povertà di animo che ho imparato nel mio "ricco"paese.

E così tra una prova e l'altra la bellezza e la magia iniziano a mostrarsi a noi in questo incredibile viaggio..
