The first day in the old town of Hyderabad ( 6 July)

Hyderabad, the first city I have been in India. Is the beginning of my big dream. Life here is so great in every way. My internship is going perfectly fine and people I've met and friends I made are perfectly fine as well. Every day is a new experiment, life here is absolutely challenging.

Indian people are very original and unique, they have their own style and they succeed on bringing modernity to their lives without forgetting their traditions. I see many young people wearing their traditional clothes on their jeans and especially the beautiful women in the beautiful sari's is one of the best scenes for a foreigner while travelling around with a Rickshaw (Indian taxi with three wheels) or just walking from home to the market to buy some masala=)

It had already been a month since I'm here. The first times were very amazing, to get used to the kaos in the city especially in the traffic, to get used to the weird looks of people and to get used to the extreme poverty in some districts and to get used to the smell which is very touching in some points which makes you enjoy and get it as a perfume or in some points make you want to faint which is a serious problem here for a foreigner. Especially in the old town which is the most touristic part of the city I had the first fainting smell of my life at the yard of the Mecca Masjid. After being followed from a 9 year old little girl who was trying to sell me some earrings at the Char minar I decided to have a look to the Mecca Mesjid where the foreigners were not allowed any more ( terrorist attack in the early months). So as I stepped in the gate of the Mosque a family wanted to take pictures with me, probably because I was the only tourist there=) and we took maybe 5-6 pictures first with the sons and daughters than with the parents, grand parents separately and then with the all family. Later on after I could continue my way I had to take out my shoes and as I stepped in the yard near from the pool of the yard I felt something very strange. Not a fear not that much of excitement but some amazement maybe I can say. A big amazement which was effecting me because of the aura of the place I guess, then I started taking photographs and chatting with kids again. One of the kids were explaining me how much a fish costed in that pool he said something around 3000 ruppies which is quite much( I guess he was trying to impress me). I even remember his name "Muhammed" such a little qutie=) And as I continued taking pictures then that moment with the horrible smell coming with a lot of peagon towards me. The next thing I remember I was waiting my rickshaw to go back to the ISB with my naked foot.

Meanwhile, I was very busy with getting adapted to my new environment here so of corse I had a lot of memorable moments but so long to wright all about them, but as a brief I made very good friends with a lot of Indians, two Malaysians and just few days before a Colombian joined our ISB family=) I really like the international way of living, which makes you encounter with lots of different cultures which I like it=)

Right now it's raining which I really enjoy the voice of the rain coming and hitting my window at the office even though still the sun is shining, is just the way of nature here which likes to create a rainbow almost every week. This is the country of the rainbow coloures, Almost anyone can find a peace of their inner parts and a reflection of their souls, here in Incredible India.
