Beautiful, vivid story. I loved reading it and yes - the metaphor is perfect, teeming with life. Jena Strong´s last blog post..What I'll Miss

Oh, how perfect a metaphor, and one I’ve lived, but hadn’t made the connection to the rest of my life.

My first morning in Karachi, Pakistan my husband (the native New Yorker) dashed across a street thick with camels and horses and cars and motor rickshaws and bicycle rickshaws and PEOPLE and I stood on a high curb until a policeman came and took my hand and led me across. Yet after a month spent mostly in India, I loved Bombay and crossed streets without thinking (too much).

But the corner of Trust and Courage and Street Wisdom is hard to find, even at home.

I look forward to reading your blog.

Gretchen, you grew up in Cairo, and lived in India? Let's talk sometime--I'd love to know more about you. Ankesh, ha! I hoped you'd get a laugh out of this. And yes, I've never seen anyone use the crosswalks for actually crossing the road either! :-) Kate, thank you for stopping by, and for your lovely appreciative comment. From a writer as wonderful as you, that's praise indeed. Love, Hiro Hiro Boga´s last blog post..What I Learned About Life & Business From Crossing The Road In Bombay

Oh, what a literary delight to read. I love good, descriptively detailed prose. This is like a great poem with a wake up jolt at the end--what's it called--ugh, I used to have those terms on the first floor. Too far to climb now. A stunning metaphor!

Hahahahaha! In Bombay - we do have the black and white zebra crossings. But I've never seen anyone using them to cross the roads! Ever! Loved your post. Ankesh Kothari´s last blog post..Trending & Timing (How do you know when a product will hit its tipping point?)

Hi Hiro! I laughed as I thought about how much s*&t I've stepped in during my years as an entrepreneur. And how really the big picture is way more exciting and stimulating and wonderful! This was one piece where I wasn't sure where you were going until the end- just wrote some marketing copy for a new program so probably a little dim right now!

Sounds like a exciting place to travel. It is on my places to visit. I'm all about expanding my awareness to help improve my life. That's what any good business person does and does it often. I like how you described the beauty within the chaos. Because every place we are in has both. We just need to keep seeing the beauty so we find a way to enjoy the experience.

Oh, wow Hiro. You describe it so well. I've lived in Bombay too, but your description actually stirred up memories of being a little girl in Cairo, Egypt. I was so distressed crossing streets, that I'd hold mom's hand with my right, dad's hand with my left, close my eyes, and wail as we crossed. I simply had no faith that I would live through it all -- and yet I did. As an adult crossing the streets of India, I was definitely more confident, graceful independent, flexible...practicing easy focus and being in the fullness of my senses. This is a fabulous metaphor for entrepreneurship, and I'm grateful for you pointing it out. Helps me see how far I've come!!

Cynthia and Char, thank you.

Christine, India is an artist’s dream–sometimes an Hieronymous Bosch dream, but you’d find enough material there to last you a lifetime! And indoor plumbing too–at least, most of the time. :-)

Kirstin, maybe that’s why there are so many saints in India. . . their presence is entirely necessary!

Leonie darling, I’d love to see your journal of your journey through India! That would be a feast indeed!

Love to you all,

Hiro
