Jai Bajrang Bali!!


















Ek, doa, Jai Bajrang Bali!! It took some serious muscle to unload the hardware.
(Jai Bajrang Bali is a phrase used to incarate the strength that Lord Hunuman has....big Hunuman fans in this part of Orissa.)






















...Although joking around in this pic, woman-muscle goes a long way too. ...i had great fun unloading stones and cement with them...They didn't hesitate in filling me up with dried tamrind snacks....way to take the mind off the mining concerns.

...I asked the ladies why they wanted light...why they actively gave their time to the project. Their reply: "If there was no project, we would not meet people like you. We would never know what is outside."
