My India Longing and Belonging

<b>'Somehow it had been that last year in Dehra that had brought me closer to the India that I had so far only taken for granted. An India of close and sometimes sentimental friendships. Of striking contrasts: a small cinema showing English pictures [...] and only a couple of hours away thousands taking a dip in the sacred water of the Ganga.'</b><br> Steaming cups of masala chai bustling markets aromatic curries crowded train bogeys calming riverside ghats ancient banyans: India is all this and so much more.
