Today, I m very much inspired to write and post wonderful photos about India. Last night, I went to see the movie called The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, a new British comedy. I found the story honest and objective by portraying the life difficulties of getting aged and showing the real side of exotic living style of India.
While I loved the way the artists performing in the movie, I was concentrated mostly on the India part. The most of the movie was shoot in the vibrant and beautiful backdrop of Rajasthan and some part was in Udaipur. I think ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the Elderly and Beautiful’ was reflecting the difference of eastern and western concept of living style so successfully. Many things we call as comfort and safe living zone in terms of western world, is having a huge contrast in the actual naive and fascinating world of Marigold Hotel. I also loved how the movie was reflecting the variations of people’ s ideas about living and how can they observe things around them in such a different way. While some was describing India colorful and full of light, some was finding it unbearable. The whimsical characters of the cast were all unique in its own way and they were all finding their own desires in the lands of India by the naked truth after spending years of their lives.
To cut the story short I am already in love in India even I had never been there before. Maybe all the things till today collected in my mind made me feel this way like listening stories from my very close friend Alexandra Pruscha who lived there for 8 years, reading wonderful books about life in India, watching great movies with wonderful scenery of the culture and the land, true excitement of loving photos picturing all the colors of exotic India made me feel so much attached to it even before I go there. After watching the movie of the best Exotic Marigold Hotel I even thought I could probably live there…
If you follow Designmixer you probably know by now I m talking about design, colors, cultures and in my blog. So no wonder why my blog has the highest rank in India!!!.

Even just to dream about it makes get so excited… Who knows maybe one day I can be so lucky to do them all…
