We had planned the visit to Aurangabad for one reason: the Ellora caves. But the trip never ceases to amaze you, and we had a very nice surprise ready: Anita and her family.
Let's start at the beginning: we were on the train when we saw, in front of our seats, bright and curious eyes looking at us. They were the eyes of Om, a 3-year-old baby, the sea of majete and with a contagious smile! We spent the trip joking and laughing, especially when the train entered a dark tunnel and he literally freaked out, to explode in applause when, finally, the light returned. Just before arriving, his mother invited us to go home to dinner and sleep! We had already contacted a hotel with us, so we had to decline the offer, but Anita did not give up: “Ok, but tomorrow you come to eat at my house!”
Of course! I try echo! We share a tuktuk and say goodbye until the next day.
And what a feast we had prepared: it was to reach the street of Anita's house and it seemed that the kings were visiting ... everyone watching and greeting each other! We already know what it feels like to be famous! Anita showed us her little house, small but cozy, where she lives with little Om. In the same building (although in separate houses) live Pushpa, Anita's mother, whom we had already met on the train, her father and her brother. Upon arrival, Om's cousins approached, Anita's brother with a friend, mother, father, and they even introduced us by phone to the other sister's husband! A cocoa of names and a super funny situation!
After the chai and many talks, it was time for the meal. And we soon discovered that the "label" when someone invites you to eat in India, is not the same as in Spain: to start you eat alone, while the hosts look at you.
And there was no way to convince Anita ... she was going to eat later, what she wanted was to see us, serve us and find out if we liked everything. Luckily he let Om eat (he agreed when the little one grabbed a handful of rice from Rober's plate hehe). And having people who look at you when you eat is a great pressure, especially if you're not used to eating with your hands! We were cherished by the spicy but, the truth is that the chicken that prepared us was delicious! If things are done with love ... hehe!
Besides, we didn't drop anything on top of it and we didn't dirty anything, Om can't say the same.
After the meal (well, our meal), they didn't want to eat either, apparently they only eat once the guest has left (what a hungry they would be!). We would like to leave, more than anything so that the poor could put something in their stomachs but there was no way: before "Lety has to try on a sari!". Said and done: I didn't expect anything else since I arrived in India !! The sari was a little weird, the third eye or talk, but the most curious thing is that we discovered that when I feel observed I become half-crossed! The mother who gave birth to me todo, everyone looking at me and taking pictures and I there as a model with strabismus of Venus!
Strabismus aside, knowing Anita and her family, was one of the most beautiful things of the trip: when we said goodbye, before the next destination, Pushpa, began to cry, and no one else could hold back the tears. Well yes: Om, with his 3 years old he looked at us with the face of "what's going on here?".
Well it happens that it is very strong to meet a person on a train trip, and to open the door of his house, and his life as well, without asking anything in return! Anita was an unexpected gift, from one day to the next, we only spent a few hours together and we will probably not see her again in a long time (never say never) but she gave us so much love that we will hardly be able to forget her. A few days later he called us on the phone (a few phone calls are already hehe), and he told us that Om asked that when Krish went to see him ... Krish is an Indian actor and the little one thinks he is stealing haha!)
