Market in the town near the village.


One of these is going inside to the butcher.



Jyoti and Tarun preparing the fire (outdoors)

for the chicken curry Tarun is going to prepare.
Their mother, Tarun's aunt.  She is cleaning wheat.  We took a 10 kg bag back to Delhi where Tarun's family will have flour made.
Their father, Tarun's uncle.
Mani's older sister, Jyoti, on the left.
Tarun's cousin, Mani, on the left.  We brought him back to Delhi with us.

On this leg of our trip we first stopped at the village of Tarun's father.  It was wonderful. The family was so warm and inviting, but so were the mosquitoes.  I had difficulty getting to sleep and finally at about 3 a.m. went to the car to sleep and escape them.  The next day we headed to Rishikesh for two nights.  While we were away Tarun's uncle got a mosquito coil and a net for me.  I slept outdoors, under the net, and it was heavenly.
