It's the small things in your life which make you happy

I was searching for an Internetcafe in Amritsar with a card reader for my camera, no chance. I finally went into a kodak store and convinced the owner to sell me his reader. While waiting for the guy to get a new one I offered the owner a smoke - which helped me so far India a lot in order to break the ice. At that moment I did that, I knew it was wrong as the owner is a Sikh. And Sikh people don't smoke, drink or take drugs neither. As they believe everthing you consume will have an impact on your body and soul. As I will write later Amritsar is the "spirtual capital" of the sikh people, and so you will fins a lot of Sikh's there.

Anyway he started a conversation about Sikh's and their apporach to life and religion. We ended up speaking about the world and why the world is as it is. Further he gave me some adivises how to handle life in India and I left the shop with a card reader an a big smile on my face.
