Visit India and you’re catapulted straight into a chameleonic theater of color. Even the glorious old architecture is vividly draped, from the sun reflecting off the Taj Mahal to the pink regal city of Jaipur. This is the dazzling backdrop, the delightful exterior that hangs over a population delighting in bringing vitality and vibrancy to everything. Just being outside is a sensual banquet; fresh smells float and flicker, merging with sounds of soft temple bells and the shouts of chai wallahs. Then a painted elephant walks past and a market stall reveals a thousand flamboyant saris. Trying to describe this experience to friends verges on the impossible: “well, err, it was, it was so…India!”
