august '08 ...India... "sweet, sweet, India"
july '08 ...Delhi... " When I think I have seen the poorest conditions, I haven't. Every minute there is a new shock, one that surpasses the last and the cycle never stops.

Dance floor of their world. Naked and in dirty underwear, their little dark bodies moved in the sun, complete happiness with absolutely nothing but themselves."
may '08 ...India... " While going down the street in front of the Hotel which is like a dirt autobahn framed by vendors, beggars, crippled and every moving vehicle imaginable... I saw this little boy get run over by a man on a bicycle. Everything sort of stopped. He was holding his leg laying in the dirt and mud crying. The Mom was trying to herd all her children while the one laid there. The man on the bike stopped - and then he got clobbered by about 5 kids..."
