These Indian village women are hardworkers

I also heard that the men drink and while their time away. The women take care of their children by slogging it out. Sad!

Loved his earrings. He hitched a ride with us from some place on the Rann of Kutch close to Dholavira...he had a cell phone and we were pleasantly surprised that technology had reached the farthest corners of the country!
