Imagining India

India… what can one possibly say about India that has not already been said, whispered, yelled, screamed, cried, or put into a Bollywood production?

It is loud and in your face. The air clings to you and holds on with a grip that will not let go. The noise vibrates deep inside your head for days after you leave. Your eyes see things that tell your brain to turn your head away, but instead you continue to stare and you start to shake and maybe even tremble. But you also smile. You become dizzy with the richness of the culture and the beauty of the people. You try to understand what makes this country go, and then realize it is so much bigger than you are. So much more intricate that you could possibly imagine. India.
