Postcard 9 on presentation



Dear Mom,
I have never felt this homesick before. After arriving in New Delhi I am not able to lose this sense of loneliness I am experiencing here. It is strange to feel lonely in a city so full of life. Everywhere you turn there are cars, people and cows. Crossing the street is one of the most dangerous activities here since the road is not only by cars but also by rickshaws, mopeds, motorcycles, bicycles and cows. I find it easier to stay on one side of the city and just walk in circles, this way I can avoid crossing the street. Even walking on the same side of the street is not the easiest task since people keep harassing me to buy something. It is as if the word ‘no’ does not exist in their dictionary. I do not like this city at all. I decided to get away from this crowded place and take the bus towards Nepal first thing tomorrow . Hopefully I will be able to find some peace and quiet there.
Love,
Rosalie
