India  -  Part 3

 

Man with sledgehammer cutting metal.Man washes his body at a pump.The next day we saw a few monkeys during the ride to Haridwar.  We are still in the city limits of Delhi.  We are now pulled over on the side of the road, waiting to pay a tax.  During much of the drive, I had my head out of the bus window to watch the street action and take photos.  Many interesting road sites can be seen in the countryside.  Two men were cutting metal with a hammer and chisel to make a fence.  A man was soaped up and washing himself using a hand cranked pump.  The morning air was in the low 50s.

Close up of cow dung patties.Two women making cow dung patties.Cow patties were stacked everywhere.  Women were making patties from cow dung by kneading them with their bare hands and then setting them out to dry.  They use this as a source of fuel to heat their living quarters and for cooking.

Boy getting a haircut in the countryside.Family with small children sitting on beds in front of their house in the countryside.On the side of the road, I saw a little boy sitting in a chair getting his haircut.  Beds are set up in front of homes with people sleeping  outside. 
Women walking past open front stores in a small town.Woman sweeping street with broom with no handle.We saw typical small town streets with people carrying bundles on their heads.  A woman sweeps the street with a broom with no handle.  All of the brooms I saw had no handles.

Two pigs walking around.Three little children carry bundles of sticks oon their heads.Pigs walk alone and three little girls collect twigs and sticks.  We also drove past a miniature horse.
Man cooking potatos and his customers eating and talk on cell phone next to cars at railroad crossinig.Boy selling cut fruit to cars waiting to cross the railroad tracks.The roadside rest stop in the Indian countryside is  located at the railroad crossing.  As cars wait for the train to go by, peddlers try to sell mostly prepared foods and cut up fruits, as well as,  whole fruits and vegetables to take home.
