The streets of Pushkar are filled with camels, locals selling bohemian memorabilia and Indian delicacies.

Pushkar Village life
After embracing the streets of Pushkar we went to the outskirts to a village situated in a total rural area which can only be found by a dirt road. We visited a farm which produces vegetables for the village and provides work for the locals. We walked past the school which was a proper building with a court yard. All the children had proper uniforms and waved and screamed "Namaste, namaste" when they saw us. Two boys came asked us to take a picture of them. This seemed to be a common practice in India.
Seeing village life in India was a humbling experience but also gave me hope. The truly happy smiles after showing the children their pictures gave me such warm and satisfied feeling I felt I could keep on doing this forever. Thank you Pushkar for showing us how the world should be.
