She is India

She is India.
She bewitches you with her charm.
She seduces you with her diversity.
She is a pleasure to know.
She is a mystery to unveil.
She is intense in her ways.
She has a heart of gold
She smiles when she cries.
She cries when she is in pain.
She is the epitome of feminity.
She welcomes you at all odds.
She cradles you when life is not good.
She with you when things go great.
She embraces you with her soul.
She is India
She is ….
Soul and spirit.
Mystery and enigma.
Beauty and splendour.
Art and aesthetics.
Culture and heritage.
Tastes and flavours.
Dreams and fantasy.
Ideas and creativity.
Moods and feelings.
Image and vision.

She is a colourful canvas.
She is India. …
It is here that life is viewed in its purest original form.
Translating into colourful expressions and myriad flavours.

One country. 28 states and 7 union territories. And each one of them is an independent entity. Almost like a country within a country. Coz each state has a different language . A different lifestyle. Different attires. Different food. Different festivals. Different religious beliefs. What’s applicable in one state is not applicable in the other. Visiting India is almost like visiting 28 countries. Sometimes I feel surprised how we manage to live within such close proximity with absolute different people with different mindsets. Yes this is the only country that truly defines Unity in diversity. Sure it has its ups and downs. But then which country doesn’t have. And sure it’s heavily populated yet there is space for one other. We find space in crowds. We find thoughts in crowds. We find friendship in crowds. We find peace in crowds. We know how to maneuver in crowds and yet manage our own space. Well India can’t be summed up in a few words. Yet even all the words in the world together won’t be able to define India.
