On the road to Jodhpur...
February 7, 2008
...I saw the usual assortment of cows, goats, pigs (and piglets), cats, dogs, monkeys and donkeys, all foraging for food; children squatting on the side of the road trying to take their morning dump; men standing for all to see, pissing into the wind; an outdoor classroom of children neatly seated in rows on the ground; a woman taking her morning bath, naked from the waste up, in full view while others sipped chai nearby; lots of colorful turbans, with one man accessorizing his with a snazzy pair of goggles (oh, if I only could've grabbed a photo of him!); children barely clothed, dirty all over, begging for any scrap of food they could find; women carrying two or three pots on their head as they went to collect water for the family; cow carcasses being picked clean by vultures; trash, trash and more trash; and an endless number of autorickshaws, cars, buses, lorries, motorbikes, bicycles, carts and pedestrians, all busy about their day.
