Myth: The Indians have strange rituals that you can not always understand -> TRUE!

A good example of this is how the students at my school are used to celebrate birthdays ...

Birthdays are celebrated midnight every cell.

For boys, her friends begin to remove their shoes for him spank to him and to his closest neighbors. For girls this step does not exist, or is replaced by a list of 3 boys that the girl must be mentioned and who take a spanking instead.

Indians then provide two birthday cakes: one that is normally eaten and shared among the guests, and a pied planned for the person whose birthday it is . A variation consists, in addition to the cake in the head, to pay the person soda ...

When asked the question has an Indian student about why this tradition, he replied that it was to make birthdays "unforgettable" ...

It is my birthday decided to drop in my presence on campus. At first I did not want to tell people, but he finally could not hide from them ... And so I celebrated my birthday "to the Indian", as shown in the following video:

I feared this moment since my arrival in Calcutta, but ultimately, it was very good- (except the 3 shampoos to remove all the pieces of cake for my hair), Thibault had bought everything needed to properly celebrate (party favors, balloons, ...) and Coralie took care of cakes (including one with a beautiful inscription "Pump Up Forever India", the beginning of the article), Marcus and William were responsible the entartage, and all students have hosted the evening ...

We finished our trip to Delhi, capital of India, for 3 days.

We were invited by Arjun , my "godfather" Indian (school sets up a buddy system before our arrival so that we do not feel too lost). It turns out that mine is particularly nice, and when I told him I was going to spend some days in Delhi, he suggested to come to his family.

So that's what we did with Thibault, and we have not regretted! His family was absolutely lovely, we ate very well, we did Arjun visited his city by telling details worthy of an encyclopedia, and we were able immersed in the life of an Indian family .

During these three days we visited a ton of monuments: the observatory Jantar Mantar, Connaught Place (the Champs Elysees of Delhi), Palika Bazaar (an underground shopping center), temples Sikhs and Hindus, Old Fort, Red Fort, a zoo (... unlikely), the largest mosque Jama Masjid, India Gate, Qutb Minar minaret ...

What I really liked:

  • Humayun's Tomb in sunset
    SL270127
  • Our excellent lunch at Karim's near Jama Masjid (an institution in Delhi),

  • Take tea with sweets at the Taj ( 5 * hotel chain conglomerate TATA those who do not know),

  • The Lotus Temple, one of nine temples built in the ecumenical context of the Baha'i philosophy

  • Akshardam The Temple, even if we There have been the only day of closing ...

We also had the opportunity to discuss cultural differences between France and India with her parents, we performed Hindu rites relatifs à la pleine lune, et avons été plus que chouchouté par la maman d’Arjun (y’a pas à dire, si y a bien quelque chose d’invariable dans le monde, c’est bien l’insistance des mamans-poules pour qu’on se serve et se re-serve!) .

Globalement, je n’ai pas eu de coup de coeur pour Delhi, pour la simple et bonne raison que ce n’est pas une ville mais une mégalopole absolument IMMENSE ! A côté, Paris est un petit village… Mais avoir l’occasion de vivre dans une famille indienne a finalement rendu notre séjour vraiment unique

C’est ainsi que s’est finished our road trip of two weeks, we took the plane to Calcutta, where was waiting the next day celebrating my birthday ...

Pushkar, Chittorgarh and October 2

P1470550 (Photos from Pushkar by clicking on this link)

We spent so much time on the bus between Bundi Pushkar and Pushkar as well. And this bus ride was almost more than the city folk ...

To imagine our trip, take a mountain highway, a lot of potholes, a public bus to fill holes and without dampers, and you will understand ... it was like in a roller coaster with the height of leaps that were made ...

order to have more time to visit Delhi, and as there was nothing transcendent in this city, we do have spent a few hours ...

This city is holy because it is the only location a Hindu temple dedicated to Brahma , one of three main deities of Hinduism.

Brahma in the Hindu religion, is the creator of the universe (the other two main deities being Vishnu the preserver and Shiva the destroyer) . And as creator, can not create is the reason why there is no other temple in the world dedicated to this deity.

But then why is there one? According to legend, a lotus flower would have fallen at the hands of Brahma and would have created the Pushkar Lake , and for this reason it was possible to build this temple.

We then did some shopping and took the bus last night of our trip to Delhi, where we would spend 3 days.
