A few faces from Naya Vasti (New Slum) the peri-urban slum i live in

With the arrival of a group of 6 putsider females and Nate's large camera a roommate insisted I take some pictures.


Radhamohan, Nate, Lekhraj, and Kat. Outsiders are eating on the bed while locals wait till they finish.


Sapna, the head cook of the night and that is her bed.


Prem, Sapna's husband.


Lakshmi in yellow scarf and the nicknamed M.S. Rhoni on the right. The left two's names I forget. Lakshmi is Radhey's sister and one of the happiest individuals I have met here.


On the edge of town, a manually spun blade is being used to cut up buffalo feed. Here they are chopping up the green parts of harvested carrots and radishes.
