You know, one of the strange things is that though India is a very sad country, there is always a smile. The poor smile. They are starving, downtrodden, the have no happiness, they are perpetually working and, yet, as you go by the street, especially in the countryside, they smile at you. This happens nowhere else in the world. This is the miracle of this country.

There is something curiously pleasant to walk, alone, along a path, deep in the country...
