Our journey begins in Ranchi, capital of the new state of Jharkhand
New highways
with lovely old trees preserved along the way
modern hotels
and international restaurants
with his and hers sinks
and we drive on...
to Bodh Gaya
where life is in full flow
As His Holiness the Dalai Lama is teaching
there are cowboys
and Indians
clean tea stalls
and restaurants
toilets
yes, there are toilets!!!
and water
and barbers
doctors
These two fellows sold me some reading glasses
mechanics
and parking places where one can rest
All move at their own pace
some stop for a snap
others for a snack
or chat
or just to say Hello
Ciao
Hi
though most keep on moving
along the path of life
