Welcome

I hope this blog will be a direct insight to my travels. Learning curves, hopefully, not mountains. People, emotions and cultures. The really important elements of life.

Varenessi


This is a photo of the charity feeding for the DaVali celebrations. All the local hungry and homeless arrive and queue up outside while the rich Indians who have donated the food play music and make a bit of a thing about it before opening the gates allowing the poor in. They all are very quite whilst they file in a single line. They sit down and wait. They are issued a vine leaf each (not to eat but to adapt as their plate) before several people come round serving different foods onto the leaf. When all is served they begin to eat and shortly after they leave, still poor and homeless but for now anyway no longer hungry. This happens once a year.
