people surely love to have their picture taken. sometimes when communication is awkward, I ask to take their photo, and the language barrier is immediately gone. other times, some people have asked me-the man with the broom was not to be dismissed until I had gotten his portrait to his liking.
being alone in a new city where you don't speak the local language could feel daunting, but most often in India little miracles happen along the way to make things feel homey. case in point - I was somewhat distracted as I walked out to the street to hail a rick. this one stopped for me, and before I looked up, the driver asked me if I was going to a certain khadi shop. I looked at him and realized that he was the same auto driver from the previous day! we had a great laugh over this and off we went; this time to another khadi shop nearby.
