Snapshots from a village.

This weekend took us to the village of Farrukhabad, located 300km (186mi) southeast of Delhi, on the edge of the Ganges. The organization of the trip was less than ideal, but it was good to see a simpler side of Indian life.

The local boarding school that received us.
Align CenterAnd we were received so well.
Typical meal of the weekend.
Snake charmer. Yes, that is a cobra, that he allegedly transformed into a boy.
Cow dung used for biogas digesters. Remarkably sustainable for a little village.


Bathing in the river Ganges.
Surveying the haphazard construction of a new temple.
Spicy rice street food.

Fantastic pictures. I like this post.

As far grad apps, you'll be fine. Although if you do start that restaurant empire, I'll be there with an eye patch to help out.
