Something other than words.finally.


bike i purchased. everyone is most interested in how much it cost so i'll just tell you: untees sau rupaye. aur kya?


i was sleeping on the floor of an ngo for a month. at the top you can see a row of picture frames proving the ngo's impact in the community.


local ngo's must show donors and larger contracting ngos that they are capable. Ravi & co just point to the wall


a glimpse of where I was for the last week of December, in a peri-urban area of Agra



arun, taking his pose serious in front of the pile of buffalo dung cakes (fuel) stored on the roof


cakes drying


the room i was sleeping in with deepak, radhemohan, vishnu, and sometimes arun. vishnu has yet to wake up - this is how we sleep, all covered with the blanket to increase the contact time between our warm breath and sensitive faces. it is 8am and dark without the flash save for a dim bulb on the wall behind.

i happened on an electric rickshaw around the taj and questioned the guy. it is made somewhere locally and it sound like they go for about 80,000 Rs max (price given me was 1 lakh Rs=100,000). it uses 3 electric batteries and cannot switch between human power and electric. i have only seen two.
