For example, the Maasai

The Maasai do not bury their dead because they believe it hurts the sacred land. Die, put them in leather bags and leave the corpse out of town, away. At three months back to see what happened. If a hyena ate it is that it is a bad person. If you ate a vulture is that it is in paradise.

Because that is India, a place to live magnificent treasures, extraordinary landscapes, hospitable, friendly and smiling, with grinding poverty and inequality more lacerating.

The greed and dreams

This conversation, cases literal, I had it yesterday with Acasio, a co-worker who was taking some pictures for the new hotel website. Married, has two daughters. Not enough money. Walk three hours every day to come to work. The whole conversation started because we talked about dreams.
