Science has been a giant database of valuable information for the western world...When a unknown act of nature occurs the database has to be accessed, and if none valuable explanation is found, a new entry is made by the Scientif Community... the warm blanket of the west.
Nature evolves quicker and more fast than science, nature is the object science the method. To communicate with nature only the 5 senses can be used to absorb and "understand" the huge quantity of information that is present in the Universe.
Don´t break your mind Quantic Physic, use your heart...

Hitchhiking in Delhi

2008-08-12T06:37:00.000-07:00

I´m living in Delhi since 1 month, during this month I learned how to travel in this huge city with 14 000 000 people and 12 000 000 vehicles!
I do an average of 100 km per day home--work---home---south-delhi---home again, in the beguinning mostly was made by Taxi, then i understood the use of the Rickshaw( bike with 3 little wheels) and now hitchiking... every day, I repeat every day is possible to catch easily a ride with a bike or a truck.
With a bike its a crazy experience when u r driving 4ppl on a scooter in a huge congestioned highway...no fear comes 2 me, the trafic here is caotic, but i never saw an accident...
When u catch a ride with a truck u beguin a completely different ride, first u need to explain where are u going... its getting easy now, then u climb to a huge truck where u can c maybe 30/40 ppl on in the top of others, u think there is no space but solidarity is a feeling that its so real in India... Its strange to see all the indian half dressed, black feet with me in a suit with a laptop in my lap learning how to speak hindi.... Amazing feelings everyday hitchhiking in Delhi, the city where the lightning bolts enlight a clear sky full of stars...

Fiz 1 pacto com o Deus Dos Mosquitos!!!!

2008-07-22T09:34:00.001-07:00

Desde sempre fui assolado por mosquito, lembro me de Verões a tomar Fenistil gotas, uma maneira subtil para pais de bom coração acalmarem a hiperactividade da energética infância.
Desde que cheguei a Delhi os ladrões ja me gamaram quantidadades gigantes de sangue. Sinto-me o Andy Garcia no Ocean´s Elevens...já imagino 11 mosquitos a planearem o assalto....
Por isso achei de bem fazer 1 pacto secreto com o Deus dos Mosquitos, passaram s 6 dias e ainda não fui picado...

Goodbye Varanasi

2008-07-16T08:25:00.000-07:00

"Varanasi brought me an amazing feeling, it made me understand that my culture and way of thinking is not universal, that truth can be a lie if you change cultures... Faith can build different worlds and different costumes....Goodbye Varanasi you will stay forever in my hearth! Here I leave a candle for you....."

VARANASI ....the city of death....SHIVA´s City...

2008-07-14T08:07:00.000-07:00

Varanasi is a magic but sometimes overwhelming city is where the most intimate rituals of life and death takes place in public on the city ghat.
Here I found the 1st ocidental shock in India, I forgot everything that I saw before and tried to be imparcial and unsided.

Corpses are being burned 24/7 without end, there is a fire burning since 3000 BC...
As western, its allways difficult not to judge when u see little babies bodies in the river or see a corpse being burned in my front... image, sounds, smells and textures turn me into a wondering spirit in the City of Death...

Cultural Shock N0 1

Here the family is wrapping the body in a white cloth, then a boat comes and they throw the body in Ganga River.

The Hindu believers believe that Ganga´s water is holy, they take long baths in the same water that receive the deads....

“Curiosity is one of the most amazing feeling that the human mind can manifest, when I see myself in this place surrounded by cultural differences and embrace the change in my habitat, CURIOSITY arise and bring comfort and empathy to the Human Mind.”
