Hell in India

My teacher once said,"You know what...India is like a hell."

We were stabbed. The Malay girl in my left opposite, automatically asked,"And why is that?"

My teacher slowly putting his markers on the table, and started again.

"I have a bloody bad experience about this. You know, every single year we have to flight off to India for our ritual prayers. So, I need to go to India to finish up my prayers there for a couple of days and then come back again. Its similar to Hajj for the Muslims. In order to go there, I have to prepare myself from my home. By barefooted.

"What the $#@!? That girl was in shocked. "Are you serious? All the way from your home to the KLIA Airport?"

My teacher nodded,"Yup, exactly," She then react,"Oh my god!"
   
My teacher continued,"Well that is just a little. I went there by a team, so my life has been controlled for days. I'm arrived at the southern India and stayed in the hotel. But do you know,the Indian hotels are not as American hotels, five stars or six stars. Neither of them have stars!"

What is that supposed to mean?"When I want to take for a bath early in the morning, I feel so good at the time, soaping all over my body,but at that crucial moment when I turning on the shower, the water is not coming out. Damn it. I shouted in the bathroom,WHERE THE HELL IS THE WATER!!? We laughed.

"And then someone came, maybe he heard my sick voice, so he shouted back, "You have to wait mister," With my eyes fully covered with the soap, I replied, "Okay..I'll wait then. But better be fast."

I wait. I wait. I wait. You know how long I wait for it?" We look at each other.

"How long?" My teacher took a deep breathe and answered," It took me an hour to get my body washed. I was like..well, asleep due to that stupid particular thing. It is not just about that, when I want to go to the toilet, I opened the toilet door and ...that's it. My stomach ache is gone completely,
I didn't need to go to the toilet. You know what I mean, oh my,their toilets are even more sucks then the water problem earlier.

"Their foods and restaurants are not great as well as compare to our country. They use different oil than ours. You know, they have a big rounded plates, for an about four times bigger than ours, one person can eat that big rounded plate full of rice. What the $#@!? We cannot afford that.

"My whole entire weeks is all about instant noodle. Nothing else. One day, I went to some restaurants, I ordered from the waiter, I wanted to have a toasted bread. But then, the waiter said, "Oh,I'm so sorry sir..If you want a toasted bread, then you have to wait for your turn. "I was like," What?What do you mean waiting for my turn?"

The waiter replied, "If you want the bread, put the planta or jam,then you can have it..But for the toasted, you have to wait for a long time, "I stared a sec...What do you mean, you can just put the breads into the toaster and for a less than a minute...The bread will be toasted. Or did he just put the bread in the wrong side? Instead of inserting the breads vertically into the toaster, he insert it horizontally? Oh dear...This becoming worse than I can imagine.

"On the way to the temple, we rode some bloody old bus. You have to know the Indian bus drivers here simply lack of moral values and attitudes. In front of the road there is a roundabout. He wanted to turn right..You know what that driver did? He didn't turned his bus as other regular vehicles, he took a straight, shortcut across the road like no one's business. India is not so true if they didn't have any accident. When he turned, there is a motorbike stopped nearby. In India,there is no divider road. So,my bus just impinged that motorbiker and he fell down straight to the trench and died on the spot. So dumb.

"I know this may take a few minutes to reach there, so I took a nap for a while. You also have to know, our country is a well-developed country, our road have a dotted line on each single lane.Three at least. But not in India. This country road does not have any line to separate the vehicles in a long queue. So the traffic is really overloaded. They cutting each other off, they didn't obey the rules, didn't have an ethics and they are just insane.

"My bus once heading forward and suddenly there is another bus from the opposite direction. When the bus reach to my bus, we were stuck. I was having a nice nap,and shocked when I saw a foreigner sleep beside me when he is not in my bus. He snored quite loud. India is not so true if they didn't honk over every single time. They keep honking until..uh I have no idea when will it last.
   
"My advice is.."  The girl interrupted all of a sudden ,"Don't go to India,"

But my teacher said, "No,it is more than that. Don't go by team.They will controlled your life.Your life will suck very easily just because of them. I now realized. I used to criticize my own country, they're like this, they're like that, lack of technology and many more. But when I was in India, I think, I am now fall in love with my own country. I'm always dream about it. Better love than never to your own country."
