A Dream of India

There is always this fantasy about a country, before you go and see what's really going on by yourself.

It was more than interesting for me to learn that most of people who are visiting India are dreaming of this

"Of course", you would say.
But they also imagine the desert, camels, old palaces ...


For me, it was all different.
India was a forest full of tigers, forgotten temples invaded by some exotic plants...
In a few words, India was symbolizing wilderness, unknown, mystery, something you cannot control.

Of course, I was totally influenced by Rudyard Kipling and his magical Jungle Book.

But in some way, this first impression has been confirmed.
