Rob and Anna's travel adventure

My View - Free Food [Rob´s India Entry (#3)]

Rob's entry

Everyday here in India is an adventure. The other day, we were very low; sick, frustrated, can't get anywhere with anything, stressed... you get the picture, though I assure you that everything has a different flavor in India (for example, public telephones don't work, people don't answer the telephone, conflicting answers, unimaginably long queues [like hundreds ahead], etc.). Then some celebration developed on the street, with parades, noise, people (always people), etc. Then the free food (yes, free!) started flowing. Imagine a city of 12 million (Delhi), many poor (I have not viewed poverty like this before), and free food. All worked out OK, we ate good, not pickpocketed, hauled out a lot, but nearly in the middle of mob-scene moments at times.....
At least our mood improved, we were touched by the children throwing oranges to us.

Family inviting us to try the free food


Happy family providing free food


Free food for all!
