boat being repaired

barber work. a nearby boy swinging an iron wire asking me if i wanted the ear cleaning job, i refused.

he introduced me to his boss, with whom i exchaged some dollars to rupee.

i checked out a bank before, but was told they did not do the service. so strange.

i changed 200 dollars, which would last me at least ten days.

offerings from hindu believers..

inscribing and engraving an epitaph, maybe.

another morning in vanarasi. rambling the street again .

my lunch in a whole.

also purchased some vegetables.

the ceremony place in daytime.

ate my fish at the gangis river. too many small bones.

my lunch, fried eggs, with a leprosy look. the vendor selected two best looking ones to me.

the sweet pie. very cheap, and yummy. soft, fragrant and melting in the mouth instantly. lots of bees hovering above the pies and frying pan. first from afar i took them to be flies.

man frying sweet dough.

the way leading to the guesthouse, with urine puddles and cow dung ditches aside.
