One of the last days in India, in Mumbai.
I actually just wanted to enjoy the sunset, as I suddenly heard some music, and screams of joy.. Curious as I am, I followed the voices, and ran into a group of people who were dancing and singing, not more than 15 I guess. After doing several photographs of them, they invited me to celebrate with them... They were celebrating a god, by playing music with drums, and other instruments...
Why was everyone red? Well, I can't answer you to that question, though, they had plenty of that red powder, and threw it on everyone they ran into (me included :) )
Dancing on the streets, where cars and buses are rushing next to you just a few centimeters away (literarily), we were heading to an unknown destination direction sunset. All the children surrounded me, asked me questions about me, my family and one thing I will for sure not forget are their smiles... smiles, full of joy and happiness and so truthful as well trustful. They invited me to dance with them, they ran across the street, and bought me food, they took my hand and pulled me to a food seller next to the street, and bought me an indian Hamburger.. and I just knew them for several minutes...
It was, my best evening I had in my life.. well, ok... maybe not the best, but I consider it to be in my top 3! :)
I made great new friends, and I hope I will mee them again in one part of my life!! :)
