我在Manali的那五天，有兩位印度剛畢業的大學生與我同房，其中一位就是Prithavi，他跟朋友從Jaipur來，大學念飯店管理的他們來朋友剛開幕的這間hostel長住，實際熟悉管裡一間旅店的方式，因為他們倆也預計在Manali70公里外的Kasol開間hostle，Prithavi外表看起來有些兇悍，但一開口會發現他是一位好好先生，脾氣好又照顧人，在Manali的最後一晚我跟他坐在外面透過喇叭互相交換對方的歌單。
他在我的筆記本上寫到
Darren, we meet at Manali hostel and also shared a hostel here and I want to say you were a great man. I feel more proud about India when a individual come here & they feel like home here. India is a country of unity in diversity. You will see every person here with a same aim of there life but different ways to achieve that. I hope you got lot of surprise in this visit of India and when you will love again this country will be ready to surprise and memorize you one more time. Another surprise for you is my handwriting . I hope you can read this in further and if you did you are a genius and by for I know you are.
Love N PEACE
