這次正要從Delhi搭火車回去做志工的城市,9個小時的車程,搭過幾次漸漸習慣,上車前反射動作跑去月台攤位買盤Samosa,就像每次進捷運站拿出悠遊卡般自然,坐定後接下來的9個小時陪伴我的,是一盤咖哩餃子和一瓶礦泉水。原本躺在上層的印度男子,可能是被我手中食物的香味給吸了下來,不過他開口的第一句話不是Can I have some,而是Can I write something on it,當時的我正在翻著筆記本,翻著每一位被我搭訕的人們所寫成的一本故事。
他在我的筆記本上寫到
India is a land of religions. We have many cultures to follow. A lot of festivals that Indians will celebrate with each other. Like Diwali, Holi, Eid, Ganesh Chaturthi etc. A lot of foreign people in India assumed India is not a good country. What I suggest to all that people come to India and see how Indian are doing. Don’t listen and assume come to India and see and see in front of your eyes. Indians are very strong and helpful nature. Indian are doing good in every field. Lot of people doing good in business in India. At last I suggest come and see now India is progressing in different fields. Every. As advantage and disadvantage in every where every place.
