Jaipur









I had an incredible walk around Jaipur yesterday. The monuments of the pink city are quite picturesque, and the bazzars are incredibly vibrant and bright. What made the walk amazing though were the conversations and the connections that I had with people. I just wandered the city, exploring the backstreets, talking with people, drinking chai, discussing religion... observing.
I saw some things that have affected me profoundly. Alas, I lack words to properly describe them... Suffice to say that, among other things, I sat for a very long time on the sidewalk with a man with no legs who's intention it was to sleep there.

Added a video of the India/Pakistan border closing ceremony to the previous post.
