Eia ʻaʻole ʻoe hoʻokahi
A eia wau ma Delhi. Ke haʻalele nei au i ka hale mokulele, hanu wau i ka ea wela a haumia o ke kūlanakauhale nui a manaʻo maoli wau i nā hiʻohiʻona o ke kali ʻana mai nā mea hoʻokele kaʻa me nā hōʻailona ma ko lākou mau lima, e kau ʻia ana ma nā pā. ʻAʻole wau ʻike i koʻu inoa, ʻoiai ua hoʻopaʻa wau i kahi kaʻa no ka hōkele. He maʻalahi ka hele ʻana mai ke kahua mokulele a i ke kikowaena o ke kapikala ʻo India, ke kūlanakauhale ʻo New Delhi: ʻo kāu koho he kaʻa a me ka metro (maʻemaʻe a mālama maikaʻi ʻia). Ma ke kaʻaahi, e hele ana ka huakaʻi ma kahi o 30 mau minuke, ma ke kaʻa - ma kahi o hoʻokahi hola, ma muli o ke kaʻa ma nā alanui.
ʻAʻole au i hoʻomanawanui e ʻike i ke kūlanakauhale, no laila ua makemake au i ka taxi. Ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka mea hoʻokele a hāmau ma ke ʻano ʻEulopa. Me ka ʻole o nā kaʻa kaʻa, holo wikiwiki mākou i ka Main Bazaar, ma kahi e kū ai ka hōkele i ʻōlelo mai iaʻu. Ua koho mua ʻia kēia alanui kaulana e nā hippies. Maanei ʻaʻole maʻalahi ka loaʻa ʻana o ka koho hale hoʻolimalima nui loa, akā e ʻike pū i ke ola ʻana o ka motley o ka bazaar hikina. Hoʻomaka ia i ke kakahiaka nui, i ka puka ʻana o ka lā, ʻaʻole e pau, a hiki i ke aumoe. ʻO kēlā me kēia ʻāpana o ka ʻāina ma ʻaneʻi, koe wale ke ala hele wāwae haiki, noho ʻia e nā hale kūʻai kūʻai me nā mea hoʻomanaʻo, nā lole, nā meaʻai, nā mea hale a me nā mea kahiko.
Ua hoʻopuni ka mea hoʻokele i nā ala haiki no ka manawa lōʻihi i loko o ka lehulehu kuli o nā rickshaw, nā mea kūʻai mai, nā kaʻa, nā bipi, nā kaʻa a me nā kaʻa, a hope loa ua kū me nā huaʻōlelo: "A laila pono ʻoe e hele - ʻaʻole e hala ke kaʻa ma ʻaneʻi. Kokoke ia i ka hopena o ke alanui.” I koʻu ʻike ʻana ua hewa kekahi mea, ua hoʻoholo wau ʻaʻole e hana e like me ka wahine ʻōpio hao wale a, i ka lawe ʻana i kaʻu ʻeke, ʻōlelo maikaʻi. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻohe hōkele ma ka hope o ke alanui.
ʻAʻole hiki i kahi kanaka ʻili maikaʻi ma Delhi ke hala i hoʻokahi minuke me ka ʻole o kahi alakaʻi. Ua hoʻomaka koke ka poʻe maʻalo e hoʻokokoke mai iaʻu, hāʻawi i ke kōkua a ʻike kekahi i kekahi. Ua alakaʻi maikaʻi kekahi o lākou iaʻu i ke keʻena ʻike mākaʻikaʻi a hoʻohiki e hāʻawi maoli lākou iaʻu i kahi palapala ʻāina manuahi a wehewehe i ke ala. I loko o kahi lumi ʻāhuhi a haʻahaʻa, ua hālāwai au me kekahi limahana aloha, me ka ʻakaʻaka hoʻomāʻewaʻewa, ua haʻi mai iaʻu aia ka hōkele aʻu i koho ai aia ma kahi ʻāpana ʻaʻole palekana ka noho ʻana. I ka wehe ʻana i nā pūnaewele o nā hōkele makamae, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i kānalua i ka hoʻolaha ʻana i nā lumi nani ma nā wahi hanohano. Ua wehewehe wikiwiki au ua hilinaʻi au i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo a nā hoaaloha a, ʻaʻole me ka pilikia ʻole, ua haki i ke alanui. ʻAʻole like ka poʻe kālepa e like me ko lākou poʻe ma mua, a lawe mai iaʻu ma nā alanui i pau ʻole i ka manaʻolana a hiki i ka puka o ka hōkele.
Ua ʻoluʻolu loa ka hōkele a, e like me nā manaʻo India o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe, kahi wahi i hoʻomaʻemaʻe maikaʻi ʻia. Mai ka veranda hamama ma ka papahele o luna, kahi i loaʻa ai kahi hale ʻaina liʻiliʻi, hiki i kekahi ke mahalo i ka nānā ʻana i nā hiʻohiʻona o nā hale o Delhi, kahi e noho ai nā kānaka. I kou noho ʻana i kēia ʻāina, maopopo iā ʻoe pehea e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ka wahi me ka hoʻokele waiwai a me ka maikaʻi ʻole.
Pōloli ma hope o ka lele ʻana, kauoha ʻole au i ka curry fries, falafel a me ka kope. ʻO ka nui o ka ʻāpana o nā kīʻaha ua hoʻopūʻiwa wale. Ua ninini nui ʻia ke kofe koke i loko o ke aniani kiʻekiʻe, ma ka ʻaoʻao o kahi ipu nui e waiho ana i kahi puna "kofe", ʻoi aku ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana i kahi lumi ʻaina i ka nui. He mea huna ia iaʻu no ke aha i loko o nā cafe he nui ma Delhi, inu ʻia ka kofe wela a me ke kī mai nā aniani. Eia naʻe, ʻai au i ka ʻaina ahiahi no ʻelua.
I ke ahiahi, luhi, ua hoʻāʻo wau e ʻimi i kahi uhi duvet i loko o ka lumi, a i ʻole he pepa ʻē aʻe, akā makehewa. Pono wau e uhi iaʻu iho me kahi pākeʻe hoʻomaʻemaʻe kānalua, no ka mea, ma ka pō ua hikiwawe loa ke anuanu. Ma waho o ka puka aniani, ʻoiai ka hola hope, hoʻomau nā kaʻa i ke kani ʻana a me ke kamaʻilio ʻana o nā hoalauna, akā ua hoʻomaka wau e makemake i kēia manaʻo o ka paʻakikī o ke ola.

Ua hoʻomaka koʻu kakahiaka mua ma ke kapikala me ka huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi. Ua hōʻoiaʻiʻo mai ka ʻoihana huakaʻi iaʻu he huakaʻi 8 mau hola i nā mea nui a pau me ka unuhi ʻana i ka ʻōlelo Pelekania.
ʻAʻole hiki ke kaʻa i ka manawa i hoʻonohonoho ʻia. Ma hope o 10-15 mau minuke (ma India, ʻaʻole manaʻo ʻia kēia manawa i ka lohi), ua hele mai iaʻu kahi India i kāhiko maikaʻi ʻia me ka pālule a me nā jeans – ke kōkua o ke alakaʻi.

Ua alakaʻi aku koʻu hoa hou iaʻu i kahi e ʻākoakoa ai o ka hui, e hoʻokele ana ma waena o ka lehulehu me ka maʻalahi. I ka hala ʻana i ʻelua mau alahele, hele mākou i kahi kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa kahiko, ka mea i hoʻomanaʻo maikaʻi iaʻu i koʻu wā kamaliʻi Soviet. Ua hāʻawi ʻia iaʻu kahi hanohano ma mua.

I ka lā aʻe, pono wau e hele i Rishikesh.

Ma muli o koʻu noho ʻana ma ka hapahā o Paharganj ma Delhi, ua hiki ke hele i ke kahua kaʻaahi kokoke loa, ʻo New Delhi, me ka wāwae i 15 mau minuke.

"ʻAʻole paha, ua hele mai au no kahi mea ʻokoʻa loa," hoʻāʻo wau e wehewehe.

Ua ʻakaʻaka au me ka huikau i ka pane ʻana mai, no ka mea, ʻaʻole wau i mākaukau no kēlā huli ʻana a noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ka nui o nā mea ʻike hou aʻe e kali nei iaʻu ma kēia ʻāina.
