India Free Writing
When I think about India I think about this movie I watched when I was younger and this movie was about India and the temples their and their beliefs. They have this temple completly devoted to rats and I remember thinking how cool that was because in our culture we generally are grossed out by rats but the Indian people think that these rats are just fantastic and their feeding them. I've considered traveling to India before after having a discussion with my aunt who has a friend who went their just a couple months ago. She let me look at the pictures and they looked pretty cool. Once I read in a magazine article about fifty things that should change the world this month or something to that effect and it was talking about how in India there's this river thats sacred to the Indian people and they couldn't worship in it at the time they were supposed to because it's so polluted.
