http://maharashtrasummer.blogspot.com/2007/08/would-you-like-to-meet-my-palm-reader.html
Wednesday, August 8, 2007. Would you like to meet my palm reader? In my last post, I only touched on the range of our trip. Here's a few more highlights:. In Jaipur we met Ari, our tour guide, who immediately told that not only was he a member of a 85-member joint family, but that it was truly a "small piece of heaven." He also enjoyed telling us about his blissful life with a woman he married when he was seven and she was three. In the Bahratpur Bird sanctuary, buffalo sometimes wander down the main pat...

Maharashtra Summer: June 2007
http://maharashtrasummer.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 28, 2007. Sorry for the recent silence. Since my change in location, I have to grab five and ten minute bits of time on the one computer at the school that gets internet or try to find an internet cafe (very expensive). I probably also won't be able to call, as the phone booths charge over five dollars per minute. Ouch. Do know that I still love all of you, will try to write as much as possible, and love to hear what is going on in your lives! Since this first day, I’ve also been to ...

From a distance and their little eyes all went wide. I could almost hear them thinking,. Wow, the American was cool, but it has PARENTS? But this is fun. Would you l...

Maharashtra Summer: Reality break
http://maharashtrasummer.blogspot.com/2007/08/reality-break.html
Wednesday, August 8, 2007. You might have noticed that I haven't spoken much about poverty or hunger on this blog. That was a choice I made early on, partially because that wasn't the tone I wanted to create and partially because I didn't know how to begin. Poverty is everywhere here. The slums of Phaltan. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Punera Gamana Yuchuh (I will return). Would you like to meet my palm reader? Playing to the crowd. Back in my little town. View my complete profile.
