 CULTURE
An old Indian saying goes "that
one cannot contain the sea in a small vessel" and so it is with India.
Any aspect of this old civilisation needs reams to be written and yet there
will be unfinished tales to be told.
India is like the elemental sunrise
that has fascinated and enthralled mankind since the dawn of time and yet
its allure remains undiminished…immeasurable. Like the "lady of
the seven veils" she unveils her charms layer by layer and casts her
hypnotic spell on all who visit her.
