2001 madhya pradesh india Rice Vendor

I saw this photo among the recent uploads and having seen your portfolio a couple of weeks ago I thought it must be you again; do you live in India or do you just go there a lot? Really nice photo once again!

I went 5 times now to India and Bangladesh, and I love the country so much. Maybe some day I will have the luck to live there.

All other SE-Asian countries I've been to (Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos and recently Cambodia have a very great attraction to me but most of all India has still the genuin and authentic entity and I just can't help it: I fell in love with it...

To all the people here who responded so generously to my pictures of the great Maha Kumbh Mela I express my gratitude and many more of my thousends of pictures of all my travels will follow now I really mastered the scanner technique.

 

thanks

This guy is a religious wanderer who has collected gifts of rice. He may be reselling the day's take-I daresay he could not eat all that, and it would be heavy to carry around.
