Spectacular
Who hasn't seen in any of the many newscasts in our life, a piece on the over night border closing ceremony between India and Pakistan. This memorable day was hot and humid, it was busy and I was very tired, but I could see was certainly spectacular. The pride and passion of both sides is reflected in each of their acts and movements, aggressive and very strong. Spurred by the shouts of the populace, the soldiers are full of energy and extra motivation. I was open-mouthed throughout the 2 hours of the performance. I ended up dehydrated, weak and exhausted, my blood had boiled all the time. Go up to Attari, either by bus or taxi (better if shared with someone to reduce cost) it is about 2 hours from Amritsar.
