Today was a holiday in Hyderabad. Sankranti, it marks the beginning of the harvest festival. Most of the businesses in town are closed for the day and most Indian children have been out of school for most of the week. Therefore, for me the day was really quiet and uneventful. I did however vow not to go out of my way for a photo op to impress you and I did stay true to my word.
I decided to go for a stroll around the neighborhood and this is what I found only minutes from our house. It only cost me 200 rupees to make them leave me alone. And the mule peed a bucket load. A spot I remembered to sidestep on my way home. - Tara
