Ngakhulela njengabanye izingane eziningi zabasebashiyagalombili e-cinema yaseNdiya nakusethulweni sami seNdiya, kwakuyinto emangalisayo, izwe elihle elinopende lwe-motley, amathempeli amahle nezindawo ezimangalisayo. Ngakho-ke, ungasho ukuthi ngihlale ngidumele ngokuphelele ohambweni oluya e-Capital of India - Delhi, kodwa ngiyavuma, bengingakulungele, ngibone uhlangothi oluhlukile lwesithombe esimibalabala. Izifunda ze-rumpet, vele, zangishaya ekujuleni komphefumlo, ngizothi masisha ezihlabelelini ikakhulukazi, ngenye indlela kuboniswe kangcono lapho.
Kepha ngeke sidabuke. Yonke enye iNdiya yinhle impela, iqiniso linomsindo omncane, kodwa kubantu abajwayelene nedolobha elikhulu, leli qiniso kungenzeka ukuthi lihlale lingabonakali. Ngihambe nomyeni wami ngedwa, ngaphandle kohambo lwe-opharetha, ngakho-ke mayelana nokuthi sizophila kuphi nokuthi yini okufanele siyibone ngaphambi kusengaphambili, ngoba i-US India iseyizwe elixakile futhi alazi ukuthi wena ingathatha, kepha ukudla ezindaweni zokudlela zemfashini kithi ayivumeli isabelomali.
Siphinde sacabanga ngomzila wakho ekubukeni kweDelhi ngaphambi kwesikhathi futhi ngifuna ukuhlanganyela okuvelayo okucacile okuvela kulokho.
Owokuqala lapho saya khona, leli yithuna laseHumayun, ubuciko bangempela bokwakhiwa kwamaNdiya, iMausoleum yinhle ngaphandle nangaphandle. Kwenziwe nge-Red sand Stondstone enezinto zemabula emnyama nemhlophe, zungeza ukwakhiwa kwezingadi ezinhle eziqhakazayo. Ukungena kwethuna kubiza ama-rupees angama-250, inhlolovo ngaphakathi nayo iyakhokhelwa, ngakho-ke sasilinganiselwe ekubukeni kuphela. Vele, nge-Taj Mahal edumile, kungenzeka ukuthi ingaqhathaniswa, kepha futhi ifanelwe inhlonipho nokunakwa.
Ukukhangwa kwesibili kweDelhi, esasivakashele kuleli Palace Raj-Hhata futhi kuyindlela yeSikhumbuzo samaNdiya, ngaso sonke isikhathi kuhlala kubantu abaningi abanjengabezinye izizwe, ngakho amaNdiya akwamanye amadolobha. Insimu izungezwe yimikhumbi emihle futhi egcinwe kahle emithonjeni nezinombolo zamatshe. Futhi eduzane yimnyuziyamu enikezelwe emndenini odumile waseGandhi.
Ngingathanda futhi ukusho ngamagama amabili nge-zoo eDelhi. Kunezilwane ezifuywayo ezingaphezu kwezinkulungwane ezimbili endaweni enkulu ye-zoo, ehlala ezindaweni ezivalelwe ezihlelwe eduze kwendawo yemvelo yesilwane esithile. Izilo ziphinde zisetshenziswe futhi zilungiswe kahle, zingamesabi ngokuphelele abantu, kodwa kunalokho, kunalokho, kukhanya ukunakwa kubavakashi ezinqikweni ezithile nezindlovu kwaze kwazama ukudonsa. Indawo ye-zoo is asphalt ngokuphelele, yonke indawo futhi nemifino eminingi, ngakho-ke noma izilwane azivakasheli izivakashi ze-zoo azizithombi kahle ekushiseni okuqediwe. Ungahlala endaweni ye-cafe yangaphandle noma uhlale ngaphansi komthunzi wezihlahla ebhentshini.
Ukuthi ngangifisa eDelhi, kuyinto engajwayelekile kakhulu futhi ngasikhathi sinye ama-lotus temple. Ithempeli lenziwe ngokuphelele ngemabula emhlophe ngesimo sezimbali, kuyaphawuleka ukuthi umuntu wanoma iyiphi inkolo angangena kuwo futhi athandaze. Lesi sakhiwo sizungeza ipaki eluhlaza enhle eluhlaza onotshani obuhlangane kahle nobunzima obumangazayo ngezihlahlana.
Ekugcineni, ithempeli elimibalabala kakhulu engilibone eDelhi, ithempeli laseLakshmi-Nara, nje ukungathandi, kube sengathi kuhle. Isonto elinikezelwe konkulunkulu abaningi baseNdiya abanezithombe zabo eziphakathi kwesakhiwo esicebeni esicebile. Isakhiwo uqobo, njengoba sesisunguliwe, sizungezwe yindawo yokusebenza emithonjeni yezindlovu ezisezingeni lemvelo, izinkawu kanye nezinye izilwane. Kumele aqaphele indawo enhle kakhulu.
