Day 17 (January 24, 2000)
The Unglamorous Side of India Birds eye view of a typical village. The temple with its huge gopurams tower to the right, out of sight of this photo, but this is an unglamorous look of what most of India looks like. The asphalt streets are lined with dirt walkways lined with shops, wires, brick, stone, trash, gutters, and foot traffic. Do you see a cow? Maybe even a monkey, ready to snatch away your bag of bananas? The yellow dogs and goats, a few pigs? The weather you can't see, the heat and the humidity, not oppressive now in the "cool" season, where during the day you still seek shade, but night at least, is comfortable. BACK TO HOME |
