Zvingave sei...

Nguva pfupi yadarika ndinoramba ndichifunga nezvevanhu veThai vandakasangana navo netsaona panguva yerwendo rwangu rwakawanda rwemafoto nemuguta guru re Tairendi. Chii chakaitika kwavari mushure memvura zhinji inotyisa yemwedzi ichangopfuura ...?

Imwe nguva yadarika ndaishanda kuBangkok - ndiri mutori wemifananidzo - uye ndaitsvaga nzvimbo dzakakodzera dzekupfura nhepfenyuro yandiri kushanda pairi. Pasi peExpressway paKhlong Toey ndakawana yakakura photogenic chikamu cheBangkok. Nzvimbo isina vashanyi vazhinji vanouya, pasina nzvimbo yekuvaraidza. Paive pakati pezuva, pasina kupenya uye kuyevedza, pasina nzvimbo yekudyira kana temberi.

Pane rimwe bhiriji raipfuura nekhlong ndakawana boka revaThai vachidya patsangadzi. Vakanditarisa vachishamisika ndakavatarisa. Haana kunzwisisa zvandaiita ipapo, ainyatsozivikanwa kuti farang. Haana hasha asi kuda kuziva uye ndisati ndaziva kuti pane vana vakanga vakamira pafudzi rangu vachiona zvandaitora mifananidzo.

Ini ndaida kutora mufananidzo wepasi pezvivharo, kuenderera mberi kwenhevedzano yenzira dzandakanga ndatora mifananidzo muNetherlands. Kuisa zvivakwa zvekongiri munzvimbo isina chinhu, abstract geometric shapes.

Uko mugwagwa unowanzo famba muNetherlands, heino mugero. Kungosviba muruvara. Ndakanga ndichitenderera uye ndakanga ndisati ndanyatsogutsikana nemufananidzo. Pane imwe nguva boka revanhu rakabvunza nepavaigona napo kuti ndiuye pedyo. Kuti ukwanise kugadzira zviri nani kuumbwa navo mumufananidzo. Yakazotevera yakanga iri kurukurirano inofadza apo handina kunzwisisa nomumwe wavo wechiThai uye vakanga vasingataure Chirungu.

Chakazobuda pachena ndechekuti vakanga vasiri kungodya ikoko chete, asi kuti vakanga vachigara ikoko zvachose. Pandakati ndiratidze pavaigara, vakaratidza mapani maviri aiva mujinga membiru huru dzaitsigira Mugwagwa Wokumhanya. Pakamutsetse katete chaiko paive nezvimwe zvinhu, meti, jira, tambo yehembe ine T-shirt, bhodhoro remvura uye chifananidzo chaBuddha. Imba yese.

Ndakada kutora mifananidzo ipapo uye ndakatarisa 'maonero' avo pamusoro pemvura. Ndakaerekana ndaona mapupu pamusoro pemvura ndikafunga kuti 'nhai mashura sei kuti mvura yava kuda kunaya'. Asi mafuro acho haana kukonzerwa nemadonhwe emvura. Yaiva gasi raisimuka kubva pasi pemugero. Zvakaita kuti ndinzwe dzungu uye kusvotwa.

Ndakasimuka ndakavhiringika nekuyeverwa, ndakanga ndatora mifananidzo yakanaka chaizvo yandaitsvaga uye panguva imwe chete ndakasangana nehupenyu hwandaisaziva kuti ndoita sei. Vaisaratidzika kutsamwiswa nenzvimbo yavo muBangkok, kana kunyara kana kudada. Yakandisimudzira girazi. Chinhu chekufunga pamusoro pezvandanga ndichiita ikoko, zvandairekodha. Zvinhu zvavo zvishoma uye maumbirwo akanaka ejometri.

Masvondo aya ndinogara ndichifunga nezvavo, ko vanga vaita sei sezvo bundu ravo rinenge mita imwe chete kana kudarika pasi pemvura, ko kadiki kavaive nako kainge kapera here?
