"The modern society  we live in is fast moving towards nuclear families. Today youngsters don't prefer to live in joint families and are ignoring the aged. We are simply forgetting that in hour of need parents need children the most."

Outside Taj

Bo has been in India for more than two months. He has visited different offices, malls, theatres, parks, markets, essentially exploring the country.


“It’s very different for me. Denmark is homogenous; we have one language and just 5 million people. In India the sense of entire scale - 1.2 billion people is overwhelming. But people are friendly, warm, helpful, just a bit curious maybe because I look different.

In the beginning it was difficult to decode what people meant especially the Indian headshake – yes or no, I didn’t know. I don’t think I have cracked it yet.

What I find thought-provoking is people don’t admit making mistakes in India. We all are humans and make mistakes. In Denmark you don’t lose face if you make a mistake and admit it; you lose face if you don’t admit it.


When you try new things you make mistakes.”

 

Jim from Taiwan

"Namastey! I am Jim from Taiwan. What is your name?" that's how Jim introduced himself. Jim is currently visiting India for four weeks. "I am here to understand the culture of India, to know people. What I find amazing is people keep their houses so clean but not the city. Wouldn't it be good if they take responsibility of the city as well."
