We ended up in a very interesting place: it was an Indian village - once upon a time, and only the families of Indian soldiers lived here. The territory is heavily guarded and no one is allowed to enter except the residents of local villas. And the zhuvut army, from the appearance of the garden, the car is parked next to a tall and beautiful house - not bad. I even forgot I was in India. There are no slums and no garbage, it smells good – you can feel the "level".
In such a villa, we were invited by relatives of familiar Indians. That means they're military pensioners, the pensions they receive are cool (we'll talk about pensions in India later) and I have the conditions for them to live. Private two-storey house with its own garden. It's full of exotic fruits, and unfortunately it's not the season. We only eat lychees. The sour taste of the scarlet flowers drove me crazy. Very tasty. I'm really envious of the opportunity for them to own three mango trees, jackfruit, pomegranate trees, lemon trees, grapefruit trees, coconut trees and five other exotic fruit trees that I didn't even know about.
The most interesting thing for you, of course, is in the house of the Hindus, and I can't help but show you the conditions under which they live. In addition, Indians themselves do not mind showing themselves to the "world", and they constantly ask for rentals. Just for what, if the house is like this...
Once you enter the house - you enter the living room
This is the living room where you can see the pensioner's bedroom, as well as a set of old furniture and the same TV. The hole in the window was a vent and I never understood what it was, but when they opened it, the device made a lot of noise.
canteen
From here we had a smooth access to the restaurant. It's the same set, only groceries and cookies. A two-door refrigerator is every Indian's dream. A fan on the head is also a must. By the way, Hindu houses are hot and they should learn from the Egyptians that those houses are always cool, even without fans and air conditioning!
kitchen
Indians only use metal utensils, which is also interesting. As one Hindu woman said to me, ceramics are too fragile, only misfortune comes from it, and it is constantly beating. Although she had never tried pottery in her life, that's what she thought. In addition, the metal utensils were also washed very clean. Well, they love this shiny dish. Agreed, this episode looks like a lot of fun.
Steel spoon
Gas
Altar in the kitchen.
They cook on such stoves and constantly change cylinders. There was also a walker in the kitchen, old and noisy. This was the case with every home we've been to before, so wealthy Indians immediately bought a second two-door refrigerator. It turns out that everyone has at least three refrigerators.
The altar in the house is a must. Interestingly, the windows of the house have no glass, only a mosquito net. Maybe that's why the house is so hot?!
The bedroom was lent to us by their son Harsh. Of course, the comfort here is zero - but there is a place to sleep, thank you. But why is this Indian house so uncomfortable and dirty?! An assistant kept going to the hostess, and she cooked and swept the floor for them, but the rest of the housework was absolutely not done.
This photo works well, but it's not pleasant to see the dust up close
Our bedroom, everything in front of us
Of course, they didn't change the bed for us - I don't understand why. It was not clear how long the son and his big dog had slept, and judging from the dirty sheets, he himself did not think it was necessary to change the sheets and pillowcases. They are worn to holes and greasy. For guests, and even more importantly, there's no need to change all this – but why? The curtains were probably hung from when the house was built, but it was built 20 years ago. And since there are no windows, they pile up unimaginable dust on them! The fan on the ceiling has to be turned on constantly, and each time it "disturbs" this dust. A real dust tornado appeared in the room. The bedroom is like a warehouse for some things and clothes. How can a person live comfortably under such conditions?!
Parents have such a sad situation in the room. It's hard to understand why Hindus are so comfortable living in such a chaotic environment.
In this state, all the windows in the house
Every day, the old people went to buy fresh milk, and the hostess always boiled it and put it in the refrigerator. It is specially used to make tea, and they drink tea two or three times a day. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner together. During these days, we listened to a lot of stories and learned about their passion for Hinduism and karma. Well, the reason they invited us here is understandable – it's also a question of karma.
Shower room with washing machine. Parents had their own shower in the room
The only glass in the bathroom, not even the whole window!
I'm trying to show you more or less specifically. The result is very compact and saturated
I recommend watching videos of our wonderful travels and subscribing to youtube channels etc. there will be a bunch of interesting videos waiting for you!
