Intense.
That's the best I can come up with in a word, yet that adjective barely scrapes the surface in describing the subcontinent.
India is a country of stark contrasts: amazing and
frustrating; straightforward and complicated; rancid and fragrant; ornate and
poverty-stricken; tame but barbaric; sacred and ungodly; free and suppressed; modern and outdated;
civilized yet discourteous; breathtakingly scenic and despicable; delicious yet
bacteria-ridden; homogenous and diverse; sneaky but sincere; principled and
corrupt; full of creeps & thieves
as well as genuine Indians who rearrange their entire day to make you feel at
home.
