There is a quiet grace and elegance about the people
I have seen here. Even those who live in a tent by the
highway seem to carry themselves with dignity. Most
do not eye the wealthy tourists with envy, but rather
an acceptance of the inequities of life, and a little
curiosity as to their differences. I may be totally
mistaken, but there seems to be a peace within them
despite any perceived hardship. That's not to say
all is happy and well for most of the population,
only to say that where living conditions suffer,
self respect does not.

Tuffy, you just have to read the book "The Poisonwood Bible." It is about 1960s Africa, not India, but I think you would find a lot to relate to in that book.
Anyway, have I told you how much I enjoy reading your blog? I literally get chill bumps sometimes, because I just cannot believe that you are there living this life that you are writing about. It is amazing...I am green with envy.
what a beautiful post, tuffy...and i love, love, love your pictures. i kind of want to order a print of the bombay traffic jam. :)
