Life in India

A stark contrast is clearly visible, one side i can see big , expensive cars, and on other side people below a dollar a day income.In big cities, i see people living on pavements , with just a sleeping bag for possession,traffic everywhere, long queues for daily fetching of water and lack of basic sanitation, the other side big software companies, beautiful university campuses, everything side by side, India is truly a country of contrast.Yet within this country are beautiful places, beautiful people, mouthwatering cuisines, diverse culture, different language, innumerable customs and traditions, different religions , but the harsh reality is still the people on the pavements , yet they go about their daily life with a sense of hope which is very hard to understand.I seem to lose hope looking at the conditions and corruption within my country but truly feel wordless to describe the spirit within those fighting for each meal , every day.
