In America, some like it in the suburbs and some insist on the city and others cannot get the farmin' out of their blood. But, in Allahabad.....you can have it all!! The Streets are experiencing it all in this city of several million!
There are cows to milk if they would so choose at the end of their drive....
There are manses around the corner...
A Hindu worship center open to all....
Andrew's favorite tire pumping station on a nearby corner.....
You can still have your trash burn pile....
A friendly neighbor who tells me not to let my grandsons play in the dirt....in Hindi...but her motions made it clear....
A toothless grandma.....
Public transportation at your beck and call....
My grandsons are not lacking for the education a farm offers. Pigs, goats and cattle abound on the nearby streets.
Not to mention fresh, home grown produce on about every corner.
Makes America seem a bit compartmentalized! But, if you get into the social expectations in India, the real compartmentalization begins!
