We try to take a walk every evening between dinner and Silas' bedtime so that we can meet our neighbors, stretch our legs, and get poor restless Silas out of the house. Sometimes we just walk in our neighborhood, sometimes we go get ice cream, and other times we cross to the other side of the sewer to see the real India. This is where the majority of my "friends" live. They are women I talk with, or just sit and stare at because I don't know how to say what I want to say. This is also where I go to buy vegetables, chicken, simple snacks, and to get my clothes ironed. Here are a few pictures from our walk.
Lalita lives right by the sewer. Her "house" has an open area(as in no roof) with a fire for cooking and then a few rooms to the side for sleeping. She sweeps floors for a living.
I pass these buffalo just about every day. Many people buy milk from this dairy. They take an empty tin and bring it home full of fresh milk.
This lady was recently married. She is staring down at us in her red Sarii and veil.
Many people walk around in the back streets selling vegetables from carts. I think this is an interesting looking vegetable.
This is my Press Walii's stand, the lady on the left is my pw and friend Koosoon. She loves Silas and Silas loves her. Tonight she was showing Silas her different shrines to Shiva, Sai Baba, and a collection of other gods. How important our nightly Bible stories are with Silas.
These pigs live in the sewer and eat trash whenever they are not sleeping.
