here and there

returning home from the USA is always some experience. Jaipur always amazes me. When I was young I used to wonder at the wide long clean roads. Now I wonder at the same roads, so crowded and dirty and slow. Tangas and rickshaws with here and there theli wallas gracing the road. Anyway that's home sweet home after all. People still so innocent and religious. Blaming god and stars for everything and anything.
While in the US most imp worry for people was abortion rights and same sex marriage. Here in Rajasthan it's child marriage. the heads of village panchayats arguing in favor of it coz kids elope if they grow older without marriage.

It's raining in the desert! A pic of a lake in Jaiselmer overflowing with water in the summer was amazing.
