India - The Color of Contrast

India is rags and riches, the poor and the silver spoons, the monsoon and the drought, hot spices and gentle flavours, stenches and aromas, gloom and light, cruelty and humanity, tears and smiles, disbelief and hope, wrinkles and youth, conflict and peace, chaos and harmony. India is contrast. India is the people. India is color.
