children in desert

Passed a village with a funeral celebration. The whole village is having a party. They are happy because the deceased is going to heaven.

Is modern tourism benefiting these villages?

Kids are aggressively begging for pens. Giving is a good thing. Like Santa Claus in the western world. But giving that encourage greediness is not a good thing. The whole sense of giving is to give people a sense of miracle.

The torch was the most important property in the household. Like a city girl showing off her diamond, the indigo girl wanted me to take picture of her torch. It was sad, in such a desert world; the torch had replaced the diamond and became the only symbol for pride. But, on the other hand, the torch does light better than a diamond at night. The diamond has no use in the desert.
