More India blogging

Sail on Lee. It's an interesting concept to tell the travel tale in people's faces......Most seem so calm and natural it's difficult to equate to India laying claim to being the second fastest developing and soon to be the second most powerful economy. After very many trips there to all corners over 40 years I find it hard not to dispute the predictions, after all, thousands still live under black plastic around the major airports - themselves being built by ladies with baskets of concrete on their heads.

Enjoyed your pic's of India!
Seems as if the ladies readily agreed to have their picture taken. Any of them deny you?

Yes, Sancho, women have often demurred when I've wanted to photograph them. I honor their refusal. Usually if I get their attention, I sort of hold up my camera, indicating I'd like to shoot a photo, with a questioning look on my face, and they either do the classic Indian head wobble to say yes, or shy away to say No.

So the responses range from refusals to non-committals, to approvals, to actively seeking to be photographed. Interesting.
