the missing link

It does not have to be said. I'm an atheist. Boring, nothing special. Actually.
But in the Indian Railways is already something special. In Indian Railways, ie those in which I have moved me. For two days, as compared with a ridiculous trip from Moscow to Siberia. and surprisingly different.
While I well Remember to alcohol consumption and the absolute bustle of traveling Russians ten / twelve years, and while I had presented the least busy just nothing like gabs.
Well, I remember even as Russian grannies knit socks and sell for five days until the half train Omis wears socks. And as the middle of the night - was the big deal is closed and at least two tons of melons from the train compartment was loaded, well, wenns the market wants ... - that was on the train to Uzbekistan
But not in India. Here there is order in the train from time to time people come over, who want to sell something, but actually the Indian Mitropa has everything under control. There is food to order for lunch and dinner. Coffee and tea and snacks in between it. And, as it should be in India, no trash. So, so I could learn, out of the window. All that remains left. (How do they do that actually in the class AC?)
This is it, the school of the nation. In fact, I once let me talk about bad conscience, to leave the aluminum-plastic mixture in Madhya Pradesh - after that I was the only one who has used a garbage bag. From a German production, do not even know whether the produce something like this ... Well, the tourist has just outed.
And nochwas special. No, not the heat, I could write about it, but that's nothing special. Especially, however, the mixture of religions, was right next to each other. Muslims who get out at regular intervals, the compass and find Mecca, Hindus, which I did not recognize in my area, and Christians, who make up a prayer on her bed, before sleep begins. And all the consideration for each other, as is necessary to hold such a small space. Wonderful.
Only a Priest, who spoke with me, could not believe it, that so many people in Germany are to be disbelieved. And I myself, indeed, to do nothing. At least not to mind, well, it's like explaining the best I? So, I pushed myself, did not try to convince the priest of the power of the individual and of Darwinism - but regardless of the peace took the train. What I know for what punishment to disbelief in Christians today, is burning?
Now I like but the interfaith movement , which we accidentally stumbled on the way to Delhi to freed.in conference - and right from the guru himself was welcomed ... but as I said, everything is gone well. And now I'm back in Trivandrum, two days, two nights, and then finally adding something a shower.
