And as always, ultrafeel brings you the radical whole spectrum of feelings. Scroll down and see this unbelievable country through the reality-tunnel of h.r.fox @ ultrafeel.tv

Not all Indian Bollywood actresses are in good shape…

However the fitness of the Bollywood stars, some of them really don’t have a very good time in India as this story of Bollywood actress Mamta Kulkarni dramatically demonstrates us:

Mamta gained fame after posing topless (but with her arms crossed over her breasts) for a photograph that appeared on the cover of Stardust, a popular Indian film magazine in September, 1993. She was charged under India’s obscenity laws, and found herself under attack from both conservative religious groups, and women’s groups. The outspoken actress lashed out at protesters, calling them hypocrites.

Kulkarni was finally convicted in July 2000, and fined Rs 15,000. However, this caused yet another controversy because she appeared in court in a burqa to evade photographers, which led to death threats and protests from the local Islamic community.

She recently said in an Indian newspaper: "I’m to sweet and innocent for this industry."…

This is the mail box of the main post office on Havelock, Andaman Island!

Police accident warning traffic sign in Port Blair on Andaman Island.

If the above police warning doesn’t help, trucks like this one want you to blow the horn -
which mainly leads to an inferno of noise, and certainly doesn’t prevent accidents!

Indians cannot even be quiet in their temples. They happily chatter away the grace of their gods…
The Indian people literally seems to be addicted to noise. The utterly unnecessary, constant and neverending honking of the horns of their cars, trucks and even rickshaws (Tuk-tuk) gives dramatical testimony to this noise-addiction.

 
And yes, even this ‘Express Jesus’ bus honks its horn too much and too loud…

Smoking and spitting is not allowed in this bus.

In this context: I travelled with the bus from Calangute to Bangalore: There was no bin inside the bus. So I tried to put the litter in a small shelf in front of me. The bus ’service guy’ sees this, says "no" and throws it out the window…
That’s exactly the reason why the whole country is becoming more and more one huge accumulation bin of garbage!

The ‘Powerful Restaurant’ offers food "in cheap rate" at Havelock Island…

At least the leather bags of this shop are originally faked…!

 
Crystal-clear water in Havelock, Andaman Islands

Not so clean water in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu.

This family collects dirty water from a runlet next to the street with steel sheet jugs. Upon request, they confirmed that they will drink this water… Still, see the fascinating energy the young girl radiates!

This Sadhu, (Holy man on a spiritual search for enlightenment) although looking very traditional,
prefers clean water out of a plastic bottle…

Unbelievable roots of banyan (Indian fig) tree at Havelock Island.
(It will slowely but surely completely cover the tree on the left, and in the end kill it.)

And below the two spiritual men, one of these cheesy, artificial landscape pictures which are typical for India.

Miranda, an advaita (non-duality) guru-teacher in Tiruvannamalai.
Although she seems to kind of play an angel, her talks were surprisingly good.

Mooji, another advaita-guru, taking a bath with some sexy esoteric bunnies,
in a pond where usually Sadhus (holy men) take their bath.
Mooji’s talks were excellent, and I highly recommend to check him out.

Remember the Hippie time…?

Nowadays, most of the real hippies left, as parties which play loud music after 22.00 are prohibited by the government. Of course, lots of bribing of officials and police is going on, so one can still find those legendary goa-trance parties. However beware: Prices for illegal parties are beyond good and evil… Bribing is expensive!

Dreamy sea…

The Shree Sai Cottages in lake side Arambol offered tourists to "Rest in Peace" -
then somebody told the owner what rest in peace really means…

Dr. Jay Kumar Deeksshit says that diabetes can be cured without medicines -
but why did he choose such an ‘unhealthy’ looking portrait photo…?!

Lohadrava pharmacy recommends Dr. Mohan’s patent: "Epilepsy 1 Dose"…!
(What in the name of Ganesha ((Indian elephant god…)) does this mean!?)

Indian politicians are famous for being corrupt. One can easily see this fact on this street-advertisement campaign.

Goddess with large naked breasts at the Shiva temple in Tiruvannamalai

Incredibly enough, although most Indians are totally prudish, they portray goddesses who show their revealing huge naked breasts, hell, they even pray to them in some temples!

A German in February 2008 in Tiruvannamalai had this to say about the incredibly prudish Indian people:

Especially annoying is the strange prudery of the Indians - anyhow the fuck like rabbits and bear children like pigs!

Ein Deutscher im Februar 2008 in Tiruvannamalai über die sensationelle prüderie der Inder:

Was mir besonders auf die nerven geht ist diese seltsame pruederie der Inder - trotzdem voegeln sie wie die hasen und werfen wie die saeue!

And this in a country where lots of 25 year old males are still virgins - and they readily admit this fact!

Finally one of those famous holy cows, or rather in this case, a holy bull in Arambol, Goa.
(Although Goa is not considered to be the so-called ‘cow belt’…)
What is this bull staring at? The next photo reveals it:

Topless Russian girl and another girl showing off her ass while posing next to this holy cow. Holy shit!

Here another young Russian lady meditates next to the her holiness, the cow…
(Yes, there are alot of Russians in Goa!)

What else happened…:

- See the picture on the left. This advertisement offers a "Multiple Intelligence Program" for babies…!

- Airtel: From Chennai (former Madras) to Andaman Island, Airtel sent the shortest advertisement text-message you can possiby imagine - they simply sent a text message which said: "Bye."…
And by the way, as soon as you get an Indian prepaid mobile phone number (give them a passport copy and one photo and you will get one) advertisement companies start calling you virtually daily on your phone via very annoying recorded announcements!

- At Palolem in Goa, at a  Dolphin-boat trip, the skipper told us: "You can swim. Dolphin no bite, Dolphin friendly!"

- Goa (The Mallorca of India…) is a popular holiday destination but has been plagued in recent years by fatal drug overdoses and violent sex attacks on women. According to the Times Of India, 126 tourists have died in Goa over the last two years.

In the ‘Times of India’ a guy called Raj said regarding the sexual harassment/molestation of two women by a mob of about 70 people:
"Everything comes with a price tag". If you want to enjoy clubbing at late night and stroll in the streets of Mumbai as if it’s Switzerland you can’t expect people to welcome you with flowers on the roads…"
The Times of India asked on January 5th 2008: "Is India becoming increasingly unsafe for women?"

- Indian homes receive about 300 TV channels for an average of 150 Rupees a month -  although 50% of Indian homes still don’t have a TV, 40% still have black and white TV’s and 95% of Indian homes still have just one TV.
(’The Hindu’ newspaper, January 2008)

- For 3′000 Rupees one gets an idendity card (one must present a photo, even a fake one, and a ‘fantasy birth certificate’. For 2′500 rupees one gets a driver licence. From the 15th January every inhabitant of Dehli needs such an ID.

- India’s internet user base is expected to reach 100 million by the end of the decade, an Indian newspaper says.

- As mentioned above, India is now full of Russian tourists. In ‘Paradiso’ nightclub in Anjuna, Goa I met a Russian blonde woman. After finding out where I’m from, she didn’t know where Switzerland is! She really had no clue - she seems to have never ever even heard the word…!

- Indian shop assistants are regularly annoying tourists (and locals) by constantly shouting:
"Come to my shop, come to my shop! Very cheap price. Just have a look! Bla bla bla…"
And no, they won’t accept a "no"!

- A woman in guesthouse ‘Amigos’, Anjuna, Goa had been bitten by a dog. She looks for the landlord and informs him that she will go to the doctor. The man looks at her flabbergasted and exclaims: "Why going to the doctor, the dog is ok!"…

- Hotel ‘Regency Deluxe’ in Bangalore: I needed a cup for taking some medicine. I asked for a cup; the boy said they have no cup, but I could use the ‘mini bucket’ standing in the bath room. This little bucket is being used to clean the toilet…!

- Actor Richard Gere, as a Swiss newspaper recently said, is again allowed to travel to India. The supreme Indian court has decided  that, after he was accused of "obscene behaviour" because he kissed Bollywood-actress Shilpa Shetty. Kissing in public in prudish India is considered a taboo.

- The Goan newspaper ‘The Navhind Times’ (Navhindtimes.com) advertises itself with: "The Newspaper You Can Trust"
(Although everybody knows that the only news magazine that actually can be trusted is ultrafeel.tv…)
