On the way, we stop at Abaneri Fortress and Temple, an 8th century stone complex which is very unique. It is built in a rectagular shape around a water well with 3 walls of stone steps leading 300 ft down to the well. A pump system lifted the water up to the living area.
India is a country of extremes. I realize I am focusing on pictures depicting the every day life of the villagers and townspeople. I am enjoying the artistic creativity of it. The long drives are a harrowing, jostling experience. I just close my eyes for the really tight manuvers, ie when a bus was coming straight at us on our side of the road at a high speed passing an ox driven large load coming toward us on the other side.
Hinglish is the new word I have made up to describe Indians speaking Hindu with many English words mixed in. (like Spanglish, Spanish with English words mixed in)
