Due to my close relation with the isreali emmbasy in india, I was invited by the government of the state of Gujarat to visit "Rann Ustav" festival. they welcomed me with flower whaen I went off the train, took me in fancy vehicles to visit all aroun. I had an entourage including my host, a guide, a driver and two other vehicles of police- one infront us and one behind.
The event took place in the special desert of kutch (called "Rann"), which is cover by thick layer of salt. on monsoon time the ocean fill the area with salty water, and after they're sinking just a white surface remains. the festival was in the full moon and we were taken to a camel ride along the beautiful place and saw the ground shining to the moon light. for 4 days i've seen dance and music preformence, visited the colorful villages, Maharaja's palace, and beautiful beach. evantually i was taken back to train station, said goodbye to the whole entourage which included 8 people and sat in the train for the next 24 hours. I was surrounded by people and garbage, looked at the cockroach walking next to me and thaught how extreme india is and how lucky I am to enjoy the whole range of it.
