【印度】
梦冉
当我住在南洋时,附近有一个印度教的神庙,临海。神庙的庄严,瑰丽和宁静,我无法形容,没有去过的人也很难想象。有些印度人非常高贵,举止优雅。
我出去玩,偶尔会穿上桔黄翠绿的印度沙丽。那时我的黑发很长,长及腿部。指甲涂上寇丹,戴上叮叮当当飘扬若风铃的手镯,颈上戴著花环,再去神庙点一粒朱砂。模样就象一个北印度人。不同之处是身上没有印度人常年所涂的橄榄油味道,而是法国香氛。
印度菜分南印度菜系和北印度菜系。南印度菜系大多是用芭蕉叶盛菜盛饭。多油炸食物,咖喱菜尤为美味。调味汁很辛辣而奇特,盛在优美的银器或锡器里,按需添加在饭菜里。北印度菜系大多将菜煮得象糊,五颜六色的,盛在小锅里,锅子象中国民间的铁锅,尺寸小很多。小锅的菜放在升著火的小炉子上,就这样子吃。多辣,奇香,味道则不敢恭维,且贵。
我有过一席印度挂毯,是用真的孔雀羽毛制作的孔雀,溢光逸彩。现在已扔掉了,因为拿去杭州后,它在亚热带的潮气里生虫。
观摩过多次印度的传统舞蹈。鼓声能澎湃血液,迅速繁复而经典的动作里,令人屏息地有著水波不兴的静态,真是叹为观止。一盏悬空而燃烧的油灯以恒速在舞台上移动。
从炎热的阳光里,进去幽暗古远的印度店铺。你或许能看见一个长相如泰戈尔的印度老人, 白须白发白衫,古铜色的皮肤。店铺里的东西奇特,平常,你见到,你抚摸,你都用不著。你 闻见老人已有著尘土的气息。如果你足够坚强,再在廊前坐一刻,你或许就想起泰戈尔的诗句,那些象闪电般曾穿过心胸的诗句,甜蜜,具体而深情。我独自坐在那里,阳光近在咫尺,我的灵魂感极而泣。
有一天我会去印度玩。去王妃宫瞻仰;和那些人一样,坐在火车的顶部掠过平原,大海。

I found this from an old letter which I wrote to my friend:
Taj Mahal, which is an India’s most famous architectural wonder, a memorial to love and a tribute to beauty. Located in Agra, once the capital of the Mughal Empire during the 16th and early 18th centuries, is one and a half hours by express train from New Delhi.
What Rabindranath Tagore calls "a teardrop on the cheek of time". Taj Mahal means "Crown Palace" and is in fact the most well preserved and architecturally beautiful tomb in the world. It is best described by the English poet, Sir Edwin Arnold, as "Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are, but the proud passions of an emperor’s love wrought in living stones." It is a celebration of woman built in marble and that’s the way to appreciate it.
I always want to go there.

A poem of Tagore:
When Day Is Done
If the day is done,
if birds sing no more,
if the wind has flagged tired,
then draw the veil of darkness thick upon me,
even as thou hast wrapt the earth with the coverlet of sleep
and tenderly closed the petals of the drooping lotus at dusk.
From the traveler,
whose sack of provisions is empty before the voyage is ended,
whose garment is torn and dust-laden,
whose strength is exhausted,
remove shame and poverty,
and renew his life like a flower under the cover of thy kindly night.

我对印度也痴迷,虽然对她并不了解。梦冉的印度安静又香艳。
只是我又要问很实际的问题了:北印度的菜不是有很多肉的吗?为什么印度挂毯在印度不生虫,在杭州生,印度不也有monsoon吗? - Re: 印度posted on 10/10/2006
好久没来了,给大家问个好!
因工作原因,最近去了几趟印度,我的看法是:INCREDIBLE INDIA! 但是反面的! - Re: 印度posted on 10/10/2006
印度还是看电影的好。旧的。 传统的。
载歌载舞的爱情,象她们浓妆的大眼睛,不真实也迷人。

JULY,我没有去过泰姬陵,一定要去的,:)
浮生,香艳?:)杭州有黄梅天气呀。北印度人吃菜比较讲究些,有很多肉吗?我还是喜欢一席芭蕉叶,盛上米饭,咖哩菜,炸鸡腿,这么还能享受。若浇上那些锡壶里盛的调料真是吃不消的。
我向往印度啊!那些伟大的YOGA大师,以及佛祖成佛地。
