Déjà six mois, le quart de mon séjour ! Un premier anniversaire. Vous avez pu suivre soir sur mon blog « Zèbres, Expérience Indienne », soit sur mon album photo en ligne « Fred le Zèbre, montrer l’indicible » ces 6 premiers mois.
L’Inde est un dépaysement complet, et même quand vous êtes préparé vous êtes surpris. Le seul avantage est de pouvoir se dire que vous saviez. Le plus surprenant pour moi est la gestion du temps, il n’y a pas de linéarité, pas de pression mais on y arrive toujours « some how » et la 25 heure est une réalité. Autre étonnement professionnel est la séparation nette entre le penser et le faire qui fait que dans le management il est indispensable d’être très précis sur les attendus et tout doit être écrit dans des « Standard Operating Procedure ».
Au niveau de la vie de tout les jours ce qui marque, à Bangalore encore plus, c’est le contraste entre une Inde plurimillénaire et l’émergence d’une modernité, c’est aussi la capacité à intégrer les différences transformant petit à petit les contrastes en richesse. Par ailleurs, l’Inde n’est pas un pays mais une fédération d’état et nos reflexes liées à la Patrie ne permettent pas de comprendre l’Inde. Cela oblige à changer de regard et pourrait nous servir à bâtir une Europe plus forte.
Enfin, l’Inde est riche d’une diversité culturelle, architecture, faune, flore. Pour ce sixième mois j’ai essayé de rattraper une partie de mon retard en photo. Elles sont accessibles soit sur mon site soit directement en mode diaporama avec Cooliris. Ci-joint la liste de mes essais :

My name is Mike, a regular guy from the USA, and back in 2018 I accidentally discovered one
of the most bizarre sports I had ever seen: CarJitsu.
In case this sounds unfamiliar, don’t worry.
The entire concept sounds like a comedy sketch.
Two competitors climb inside a small car and try to grapple each other while being trapped between the cramped interior.
No, I’m not kidding. In most sports you have a ring, but in CarJitsu your battlefield is a cramped car interior.
This is what shocked me the first time.
It even has official events and competitive tournaments.
Participants gather from various regions and try to prove who can adapt best
to the strange environment. Different from most athletic competitions, every movement is limited by the tight space.
The result is pure chaos. One second someone looks like a champion, and the next
second they are stuck between the seats.
Back then I was heavily interested in competitive sports.
I watched many sports events every week. I also
spent time reading about betting markets. Many sports
fans I knew compared sportsbook offers. Sometimes names like 1xBet would
appear in conversations about major sporting events, although CarJitsu was usually too strange
to be the main topic.
One night I saw a short video online. I honestly assumed it was fake.
Grown adults were trying to grapple inside a parked car while spectators were going
crazy with excitement. I laughed so hard that I couldn’t breathe for a moment.
Yet the more I watched, the more fascinated I became.
A few weeks later, I found a local event and decided to attend.
The crowd energy was amazing. There were fans discussing
sports, training, and competition. Some people even joked about which athlete would be the favorite if
a betting site ever offered odds on the matches.
Eventually I wanted to participate. I signed up for beginner training.
My first session was a disaster. I hit my head on the roof,
got stuck near a seat, and accidentally opened a door at the worst possible moment.
Everyone laughed. Yet I kept coming back.
Week after week, I improved. I learned how to use positioning, leverage, balance, and timing.
The car stopped feeling tiny. Soon I was entering local competitions.
My friends thought I was completely crazy. Whenever someone asked what sport I practiced,
the conversation usually went like this:
« CarJitsu. »
« What is that? »
« Imagine wrestling inside a car. »
« You’re joking. »
« No, that’s the actual sport. »
The craziest match of my career came later. My opponent was built like
a truck. He looked like he could lift a small house. Before the match started, he smiled
and said, « Good luck. » I should have listened.
As soon as the fight started, chaos exploded.
We bounced between seats, bumped into doors, and nearly tangled ourselves in everything inside the vehicle.
The crowd was roaring. Everyone was losing their minds.
Then came the moment I will never forget.
My opponent grabbed the car seat belt and accidentally turned it into what looked like a crazy lasso.
As we struggled for position, the belt snapped across the cabin and wrapped around me in the strangest way imaginable.
For a second I thought, « What kind of sport did I join? »
He pulled, I twisted, the seat belt locked, the door opened slightly, and both
of us somehow ended up tangled together like a pile of cables.
The audience was laughing so hard that some people could barely stay in their seats.
The scene was unbelievable.
For a brief moment, I genuinely thought my opponent was going
to destroy me. Thankfully, the officials quickly intervened when things became unsafe,
and the situation was resolved without serious injury. Afterward we both burst out laughing.
Everyone loved it. Even today people who were there still talk about « the seat belt incident. »
Thinking about my journey, CarJitsu remains one of the strangest
sports I have ever experienced. It gave me countless
funny moments. Whether people are discussing sports, betting,
sportsbooks, competitions, or events, very few things create reactions like CarJitsu.
When people want to hear a crazy sports story,
I always tell them about the day I climbed into a car in 2018 and accidentally became a CarJitsu competitor.
The reaction is always the same. But after hearing
about tournaments, athletes, training sessions, sports fans, betting conversations, sportsbook discussions, and
my unforgettable seat belt battle, they usually
agree on one thing:
CarJitsu is wonderfully ridiculous.
