Passage:
There was silence. The rush of water so constant that the sound receded into the deep recesses of the mind and so faded from the conscious. Birds chirped in different octaves. The rain came in a downpour addingto the music of nature. The orchestral composition was completed as the wind ruffled through trees.
What is remarkable in this sequence is that the sounds were not man-made. The comforting murmurs of nature lulled the mind into deep meditation, Then I opened my
eyes. The mountain of MachchuPichchu was behind me. Wyna Picchu wasto myside, andPuttucursi rightin frontshapedlikeMt. Kailash. Ofcourse there was no snow. A long. fold of mountain was like Ganesha’s trunk. The sacred river Urubamba sped along in its long journey — embracing the mountain at thefoot, following its contour, then on around Wyna Picchu, racingto join the Amazon river — tumbling down 8000 feet, saddling South America and then merging with the Atlantic Ocean on the East coast.
Cusco was theheart of the Inca empire. It retains its pristine charm inspite of a stream oftourists. The tiled roof tops, narrowstreets and little balconies dotting the buildings addto the charm.

I remembera very definite change whenI reached what inmodernchild psychology is called the‘latency period’. At this stage, I began to enjoy using slang, pretending to have no feelings, and being generally ‘manly’. I began to despise my people, chiefly because of their extreme horror of slang and their absurd notion that it was dangerous to climbtrees. So many things were forbidden to methat I acquired the habit of deceit in which I persisted upto the age of twenty one. It became second nature to me to think that whatever I was doing had better be kept to myself and I have never quite overcome the impulse to concealment which was
thus generated. I still havean impulse to hide what I am reading when anybody came into the room,andto hold my tonguegenerally as to whereI havebeen, and what I have done. It is only by a certain effort of will that I have overcome the impulse, which was generated by the years during which I had to find my way among a set of foolish prohibitions.
The years of adolescence were to me very lonely and very unhappy. Both in the life of the emotions and in the life of the intellect, I was obliged to preserve an impenetrable secrecy towards my people. My interests were divided between sex, religion and mathematics.

Passage:
When you first arrive in a new culture,there is a period of confusion that comes from the new situation and from lack of information. It leaves you quite dependent and in need of help in the form of information and advice. The second state begins as you start to interact with the new culture. It is called the stage of small victories. Each new encounter with the cultureis fraught with peril. It is preceded by anxiety and information collection and rehearsal. Then the event occursand you return homeeither triumphantor defeated. When successful, the feelings are very much as though a major victory has been won, A heightened roller coaster effect is particularly characteristic of this stage. Once some of the fundamentals of life are mastered, there is time to explore the new culture. This is the honeymoon stage of wonder and infatuation. In it there is heightened appreciation for the new, the different, the aesthetic. Depending on the degree of cultural immersion and exploration, it may continue for a considerable period of time.
After a while, a self correction takes place. No honeymoon can last forever. Why in the world would anyone do it that way ? Can’t these people get their act together ? Now the deficits seem glaringly apparent. Finally, if you are lucky enough to chart a course through these stages and not get stuck, there is a rebalance of reality.
