Lapha awuwedwa neze
Nakhu ngiseDelhi. Lapho ngisuka esakhiweni sezindiza, ngiphefumula umoya oshisayo, ongcolile wedolobha elikhulu futhi ngizwa inqwaba yokulinda okuvela kubashayeli bamatekisi bephethe izimpawu ezandleni zabo, belulwe ngokuqinile eduze kocingo. Angiliboni igama lami, nakuba ngibhukhe imoto eya ehhotela. Ukusuka esikhumulweni sezindiza uye enkabeni yenhloko-dolobha yaseNdiya, idolobha laseNew Delhi, kulula: ukukhetha kwakho itekisi kanye ne-metro (ihlanzekile impela futhi igcinwe kahle). Ngesitimela esihamba ngaphansi komhlaba, uhambo luzothatha cishe imizuzu engama-30, ngemoto - cishe ihora, kuye ngezimoto emigwaqweni.
Ngaphelelwa isineke sokubona idolobha, ngakho ngancamela itekisi. Umshayeli kuvele ukuthi ubezigodlile futhi uthule ngendlela yabeLungu. Cishe ngaphandle kwesiminyaminya, saphuthuma e-Main Bazaar, eduze kwayo ihhotela engangituswe kulo. Lo mgwaqo odumile wake wakhethwa ama-hippie. Lapha akulula nje ukuthola inketho yezindlu ebhajethi kakhulu, kodwa futhi ukuzwa impilo eshisayo ye-motley ye-bazaar yasempumalanga. Iqala ekuseni kakhulu, ekuphumeni kwelanga, futhi ayimi, mhlawumbe kuze kube phakathi kwamabili. Yonke ingxenye yomhlaba lapha, ngaphandle komgwaqo omncane wabantu abahamba ngezinyawo, ihlala ezindaweni zokuthenga ezinezikhumbuzo, izingubo zokugqoka, ukudla, izinto zasendlini nezinto zakudala.
Umshayeli wazungeza imizila emincane isikhathi eside esixukwini esiminyene esivala izindlebe sorisho, abathengi, amabhayisikili, izinkomo, amabhayisikili nezimoto, futhi ekugcineni wama ngala mazwi: “Futhi-ke kufanele uhambe ngezinyawo – imoto ngeke idlule lapha. Kuseduze nokuphela komgwaqo.” Ngibona ukuthi kukhona okungahambi kahle, nganquma ukungenzi intokazi eyonakele, futhi, ngathatha isikhwama sami, ngavalelisa. Yiqiniso, lalingekho ihhotela ekupheleni komgwaqo.
Indoda enebala elimhlophe eDelhi ngeke ikwazi ukudlula umzuzu ngaphandle kokuphelezelwa. Ngokushesha abantu ababedlula ngendlela baqala ukuza kimi, bangisiza futhi bajwayelana. Omunye wabo wangiphelezela ngomusa wangiyisa ehhovisi lezokwazisa ngezivakashi futhi wathembisa ukuthi nakanjani uzonginika ibalazwe lamahhala futhi angichazele indlela. Egunjini elishunqa intuthu, eliminyene, ngahlangatshezwa isisebenzi esinobungane esathi ngokubhuqa, sangazisa ukuthi ihhotela engangilikhethile lisendaweni eyimijondolo lapho kungaphephile ukuhlala khona. Esevule izingosi zamahhotela abizayo, akazange angabaze ukukhangisa ngamakamelo kanokusho ezindaweni ezihlonishwayo. Ngachaza ngokushesha ukuthi ngiyethemba izincomo zabangane futhi, ngaphandle kobunzima, ngafohla emgwaqweni. Abaphelezeli abalandelayo babonakala bengebona abadayisi njengabanduleli babo, futhi bangiletha emigwaqweni egcwele udoti eqonde emnyango wehhotela.
Ihhotela labonakala lithokomele futhi, ngokwemibono yamaNdiya yenhlanzeko, indawo elungiswe kahle. Kusukela kuvulandi ovulekile esitezi esiphezulu, lapho kukhona indawo yokudlela encane, umuntu angabuka umbono omibalabala ophahleni lwaseDelhi, lapho, njengoba wazi, abantu bahlala khona. Njengoba ukuleli zwe, uyaqonda ukuthi ungayisebenzisa kanjani indawo ngokwezomnotho nangokuzithoba.
Ngilambile ngemva kwendiza, ngokunganaki nga-oda ama-curry athosiwe, i-falafel nekhofi. Ubukhulu bezingxenye zezitsha babumane bushaqisa. Ikhofi elisheshayo lalithelwa ngokukhululekile engilazini ende, eduze kwalo esosweni elikhulu kwakubekwe isipuni "sekhofi", esikhumbuza igumbi lokudlela ngobukhulu. Kuhlala kuyimfihlo kimi ukuthi kungani ezindaweni eziningi zokudlela eDelhi, ikhofi elishisayo netiye kuphuzwa ezingilazini. Noma kunjalo, ngidle isidlo sakusihlwa ezimbili.
Kusihlwa, ngikhathele, ngazama ukuthola isembozo se-duvet ekamelweni, noma okungenani ishidi elengeziwe, kodwa lutho. Kwadingeka ngizimboze ngengubo yokuhlanzeka engabazekayo, ngoba ebusuku kwavele kwabanda kakhulu. Ngaphandle kwefasitela, naphezu kwehora lakusihlwa, izimoto zaqhubeka zishaya amahutha futhi omakhelwane baxoxa ngokuzwakalayo, kodwa ngase ngiqala ukuwuthanda lo muzwa wokuxineka kwempilo.
Iqembu ozishuthe lona
Ukusa kwami kokuqala enhloko-dolobha kwaqala ngohambo lokubuka indawo. Inkampani yezokuvakasha ingiqinisekise ukuthi kuzoba uhambo lwamahora angu-8 kuzo zonke izindawo ezikhangayo ngokuhunyushelwa esiNgisini.
Ibhasi alifikanga ngesikhathi ebesibekiwe. Ngemva kwemizuzu engu-10-15 (eNdiya, lesi sikhathi asibhekwa njengesephuzile), iNdiya eligqoke kahle eligqoke ihembe kanye ne-jeans langizela - umsizi womhlahlandlela. Ngokubona kwami, emadodeni aseNdiya, noma yiliphi ihembe libhekwa njengenkomba yesitayela esisemthethweni. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, akunandaba nhlobo ukuthi ihlanganiswe nani - namajini ashayiwe, i-Aladdins noma ibhulukwe.
Umngane wami omusha wangiholela endaweni yokuhlangana yeqembu, ngihamba phakathi kwesixuku esiminyene ngamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo. Sidlula imizila embalwa, safika ebhasini elidala eligiyayo, elangikhumbuza kahle ngiseyingane yamaSoviet. Nganikezwa indawo ehloniphekile ngaphambili. Njengoba indlu yayigcwele izivakashi, ngaqaphela ngokwengeziwe ukuthi kwakungeke kube nabaseYurophu kuleli qembu ngaphandle kwami. Mhlawumbe ngabe angizange ngikunake lokhu ukube bekungekona ukumamatheka okubanzi, okufundayo okuvela kuwo wonke umuntu ogibele ibhasi. Ngamagama okuqala omhlahlandlela, ngiphawule ukuthi ngangingeke ngifunde lutho olusha phakathi nalolu hambo - umhlahlandlela akazange azihluphe ngokuhumusha okuningiliziwe, enza amazwi amafushane kuphela ngesiNgisi. Leli qiniso alizange lingicasule nakancane, ngoba ngaba nethuba lokuya ohambweni “lwabantu bakithi”, hhayi ngokufuna abantu baseYurophu.
Ekuqaleni, wonke amalungu eqembu kanye nomqondisi ngokwakhe bangiphatha ngokuqapha. Kepha kakade entweni yesibili - eduze kwezakhiwo zikahulumeni - othile wabuza ngamahloni:
– Nkosikazi, ngingaba nesithombe ozishuthe sona? Ngavuma ngimamatheka. Futhi siyahamba.
Ngemva kwemizuzu engu-2-3 nje, bonke abantu abangu-40 eqenjini lethu baphuthuma umugqa ukuze bathwebule isithombe nomlungu, okusabhekwa njengebika elihle eNdiya. Umqondisi wethu, owaqale wabuka buthule le nqubo, ngokushesha wathatha inhlangano futhi waqala ukunikeza iseluleko mayelana nendlela engcono kakhulu yokusukuma nokuthi ungamamatheka ngasiphi isikhathi. Iseshini yezithombe yayihambisana nemibuzo yokuthi ngivela kuliphi izwe nokuthi kungani ngihamba ngedwa. Ngemva kokufunda ukuthi igama lami nginguKhanya, injabulo yabangane bami abasha yayingenamingcele:
– Igama lesiNdiya*!
Usuku lwalumatasa futhi kumnandi. Engosini ngayinye, amalungu eqembu lethu aqinisekisa ngokuthinta inhliziyo ukuthi angilahleki futhi aphikelela ekukhokheleni ukudla kwami kwasemini. Futhi naphezu kwesiminyaminya esibi sezimoto, ukubambezeleka okuqhubekayo cishe kwawo wonke amalungu eqembu kanye neqiniso lokuthi ngenxa yalokhu, asizange sibe nesikhathi sokufika eMnyuziyamu waseGandhi naseRed Ford ngaphambi kokuvalwa, ngizolukhumbula lolu hambo ngokubonga isikhathi eside siyeza.

Ngakusasa kwadingeka ngihambe ngiye eRishikesh. Ukusuka eDelhi, ungafika enhlokodolobha ye-yoga ngetekisi, ibhasi nesitimela. Alukho uxhumano lwesitimela oluqondile phakathi kweDelhi neRishikesh, ngakho-ke abagibeli bavamise ukuya e-Haridwar, lapho bedlulisela khona itekisi, orisho noma ibhasi eliya e-Rikishesh.

Kuvele ukuthi umuntu engijwayelene naye uyisivakashi esivamile eRishikesh. Lapho ebuzwa ukuthi uyayenza yini i-yoga, uTarun wavele wamamatheka futhi waphendula ngokuthi … uzilolongela imidlalo eyingozi lapha!

Umthetho okuwukuphela kwawo kuzo zonke izindawo ezingcwele e-India ukukhumula izicathulo zakho ngaphambi kokungena futhi, kunjalo. , ungayigodli iminikelo J
Ekhuluma ngezinto ezibonwa eRishikesh, umuntu akanakuhluleka ukusho i-Beatles Ashram noma uMaharishi Mahesh Yogi Ashram, umdali wendlela ye-Transcendental Meditation.

Ngabuyela eDelhi ngobusuku bangaphambi kweholide likaShiva - Maha Shivaratri **. Lapho ngifika eHaridwar ekuseni, ngamangala ukuthi idolobha lalibonakala lingalali. Izibani ezinemibala eminingi zazivutha onqenqemeni nasemigwaqweni emikhulu, kukhona owayehamba ngaseGanges, kukhona owayeqedela amalungiselelo okugcina eholidi.
Enhloko-dolobha, nginengxenye yosuku lokuthenga izipho ezisele futhi ngibone lokho engingenaso isikhathi sokukubona okokugcina. Ngeshwa, usuku lwami lokugcina lokuhamba lwawela ngoMsombuluko, futhi ngalolu suku wonke amamnyuziyamu namathempeli athile eDelhi avaliwe.
Khona-ke, ngeseluleko sabasebenzi basehhotela, ngathatha urisho wokuqala engahlangana nawo futhi ngacela ukuyiswa ethempelini elidumile lamaSikh - iGurdwara Bangla Sahib, okwakuwuhambo lwemizuzu eyi-10 ukusuka ehhotela. Indoda karisho yajabula kakhulu ngokuthi ngangikhethe lo mzila, yasikisela ukuba ngizibekele imali yokugibela, futhi yangibuza ukuthi kufanele yini ngiye kwenye indawo. Ngakho ngakwazi ukugibela kusihlwa eDelhi. Urisho wayenomusa kakhulu, wakhetha izindawo ezingcono kakhulu zezithombe futhi waze wathembisa ukungithatha isithombe ngishayela imoto yakhe.
Uyajabula mngani wami? elokhu ebuza. – Ngiyajabula uma ujabule. Ziningi kakhulu izindawo ezinhle eDelhi.
Ngasekupheleni kosuku, lapho ngangicabanga ukuthi lokhu kuhamba okumangalisayo kuzongibiza malini, umqondisi wami wavele wathi uzodlula eduze kwesitolo sakhe sezikhumbuzo. Urisho awuzange ungene ngisho nasesitolo “sakhe,” kodwa wangivulela isicabha futhi washesha wabuyela endaweni yokupaka. Ngididekile, ngabheka ngaphakathi futhi ngabona ukuthi ngangikwenye yezitolo eziphakeme zezivakashi. E-Delhi, sengivele ngihlangane namakhonkotha asemgwaqweni abamba izivakashi ezikhohliseka kalula futhi azibonise indlela eya ezindaweni zokuthenga ezinkulu ezinempahla engcono nemba eqolo. Urisho wami waba ngomunye wabo. Ngemva kokuthenga izikhafu ezimbalwa zamaNdiya njengokubonga ngohambo oluhle, ngabuyela ehhotela lami nginelisekile.
Iphupho likaSumit
Kakade ngisendizeni, lapho ngizama ukufingqa konke okuhlangenwe nakho nolwazi engangiluzuzile, insizwa yaseNdiya eneminyaka engaba ngu-17 yaphendukela kimi ngokungazelele, ihlezi esihlalweni esiseduze:
– Lolu wulimi lwesiRashiya? ebuza ekhomba i-lecture pad yami evuliwe.
Waqala kanjalo-ke omunye umngane wami ongumNdiya. Umuntu engangihamba naye wazethula njengoSumit, kwavela ukuthi ungumfundi ophikweni lwezokwelapha eNyuvesi yaseBelgorod. Kuso sonke isikhathi sendiza, uSumit wakhuluma kahle ngendlela ayithanda ngayo iRussia, nami ngavuma uthando lwami ngeNdiya.
I-Sumit ifunda ezweni lakithi ngoba imfundo e-India ibiza kakhulu - ama-rupees ayizigidi eziyisi-6 kuso sonke isikhathi sokufunda. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, zimbalwa kakhulu izindawo ezixhaswe nguhulumeni emanyuvesi. E-Russia, imfundo izobiza umndeni wakhe mayelana nezigidi ezimbili.
Sumit amaphupho okuhamba lonke elaseRussia nokufunda isiRashiya. Ngemva kokuphothula enyuvesi, le nsizwa izobuyela ekhaya ukuze izophatha abantu. Ufuna ukuba udokotela ohlinza inhliziyo.
“Lapho ngihola imali eyanele, ngizovula isikole sezingane ezivela emikhayeni empofu,” kuvuma uSumit. - Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi eminyakeni engu-5-10 i-India izokwazi ukunqoba izinga eliphansi lokufunda nokubhala, imfucuza yasendlini kanye nokungagcinwa kwemithetho eyisisekelo yenhlanzeko yomuntu siqu. Manje ezweni lakithi kunezinhlelo ezibhekene nalezi zinkinga.
Ngilalele uSumit ngimamatheke. Kuzalwa ukuqaphela emphefumulweni wami ukuthi ngisendleleni efanele uma ukudalelwa kunginika ithuba lokuhamba futhi ngihlangane nabantu abamangalisayo.

** Iholide likaMahashivaratri eNdiya liwusuku lokuzinikela nokukhulekela unkulunkulu uShiva nomkakhe uParvati, olugujwa yiwo wonke amaHindu angokwenkolo ngobusuku bangaphambi kwenyanga ethwasa enyangeni yasentwasahlobo kaPhalgun (usuku “luntanta” kusukela ngasekupheleni kukaFebhuwari. kuya phakathi no-March ngokwekhalenda likaGregory).

AmaShaivete azila ukudla ngalolu suku, ningadli futhi ningaphuzi. Ngemva kokugeza okungokwesiko (emanzini angcwele eGanges noma komunye umfula ongcwele), amaShaivite agqoka izingubo ezintsha futhi agijimele ethempelini eliseduze laseShiva ukuze anikele kuye iminikelo.
