A Rabbi here asked me if the people in India are much calmer than those bustling through the streest of Jerusalem or New York City. My answer surprised myself.
Even though the city of Mumbai is overstressed and past capacity with too many people to manage and provide for, the daily lives of those Indians that I met had a peaceful sense about them. I guess it's best explained that the Indian sense of BEING has a calm attitude, even though the daily life can seem so intense and under pressure. Though getting on to a train can be a mob seen, and waiting in long lines and pushing through crowded streets is common - the important thing to remember is it's how you are BEING not always DOING that counts.
