stuny Posted July 18, 2006 Share #1 Posted July 18, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) In the countryside not far from Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, we visited three indigenous cultures. The third was an extended family that set up a cooperative to produce dhurrie carpets. The founder, a bright, delightful man in his 40s, very highly values education (not always the case, unfortunately, throughout this huge, populous country), and ensures that all children attend school. This girl came by to show him her schoolwork from that day. We were charmed by the man, his educational views, and this child with the flashing eyes and smile.

stuny Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted July 20, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Daniel - Thank you. We were astonished to find such a high percentage of the India population to have great beauty, part of which frequnetly included lovely eyes. We also noted that Indias seem never to have bad hair days. I commented on this to several India imigrant colleagues and they claimed it was form the regular use of coconut oil in the hair. I think that at least as important are the genes effecting hair. Rainer - Thank you. The angle was partly luck. We were seated observing the cooperative founder's brother demonstrate a technique when the school girl came in. From that low angle I found her beautiful, asked if I could take a picture, and as with the vast majority of Indians, she stopped and smiled. Susan - Thank you. I encourage you to read Barbara's trip notes on our site. They have become more detailed in the last few years, but I find them quite good, and others use them to plan their own trips.

stuny Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share #11 Posted July 22, 2006 Leicamann - A most interesting comment. Perhaps this is a good topic for the Customer Forum page. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicamann Posted July 22, 2006 Share #12 Posted July 22, 2006 Good idea. How do you suggest the thread be started? How memebers who post excellent photographs are DELIBERATELY overlooked because of their name and status not because of the quality of the image? Or how CERTAIN MEMBERS post good to mediocre to very bad photographs but get lots of superficial comments B-Cause of THEIR STATUS? Sounds a bit long. Any suggestions.
