Thali means plate. A thali is a selection of different dishes, usually served in small bowls on a round tray. Typical dishes include rice, dhal, vegetables, chapati, papad, curd (yoghurt), small amounts of chutney or pickle, and a sweet dish to top it.

Sometimes a picture has the power to turn fate around:
In August 2009, I began visiting urban colonies in the city of Bhopal, central India, to document the severe illnesses faced by children as a result of contaminated water. As a consequence to the 1984 tragedy, around 100,000 people are now chronically ill from the effects of the gas leak, while tainted drinking water has affected thousands more.
Toxic waste – buried around the former factory – has penetrated the underground aquifers, harming the health of nearby dwellers. As a grim result, children are increasingly faced by severe disorders. Living with his family in a rundown shack made of bare soil and cow dung, one such victim is Sachin, now 20, and suffering from leg paralysis.
On a fateful day, during one of my regular visits to his home, heavy rain began to fall. His youngest sister, Poonam, then 6, was revelling in the rain to curb the scorching summer heat.
I started taking pictures immediately.
A frame from that propitious moment was later assigned numerous recognitions, including a 5000 USD grant from ‘The Photographers Giving Back Awards’ - in Sweden - to implement a long-term plan for the wellbeing of Poonam, 11 in 2014, and designed to assist her family overcome extreme poverty.
Born ‘unlucky’, with a tiny sixth toe on each foot, her father superstitiously believed she brought misfortune upon their lives.
Today, Poonam dreams of becoming a teacher, like the ones practicing in her small private school, a short walk away from the family’s newly-built home – made of solid bricks. Along with her sister Jyoti, 12, she regularly attends lessons. (Year 5 Elementary in 2014-2015)
I have witnessed the passion that is moving this family along, and how a single possibility for change was able to spark in them such a vibrant enthusiasm for life.
Poonam’s fairytale is far from over: time after time, I intend to witness her blossoming into a teenager, an emancipated woman, and later into a loving wife and mother.

Women's work does not get properly evaluated in the economy and their contribution to society goes unrecognised.

GURU KA LANGAR
Guru Ka Langar The tradition of serving langar Initiated by Guru Nanak Dev Ji and then established by the 3rd Guru Sri Guru Amar Dass Ji at Goindwal.
Even the Mughal King Akbar came and sat among the ordinary people to share langar.
The institution of Guru ka Langar has served the community in many ways. It has ensured the participation of women and children in a task of service for mankind. Women play an important role in the preparation of meals, and the children help in serving food to the pangat. Langar also teaches the etiquette of sitting and eating in a community situation, which has played a great part in upholding the virtue of sameness of all human beings; providing a welcome, secure and protected sanctuary.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone is welcome to share the Langar; no one is turned away. Each week a family or several families volunteer to provide and prepare the Langar. This is very generous, as there may be several hundred people to feed, and caterers are not allowed. All the preparation, the cooking and the washing-up is done by volunteers and or by voluntary helpers (Sewadars).
In the Golden Temple Community Kitchen at an average 75,000 devotees or tourists take langar in the Community Kitchen daily; but the number becomes almost double on special occasions. On average 5.000 kg Wheat Flour, 1.250 kg Cereals, 500 kg Rice, 5000 Ltr Milk, 500 kg Sugar, 250 kg Pure Ghee is used a day. Nearly 100 LPG Gas Cylinders are used to prepare the meals. 100’s of employees and devotees render their services to the kitchen.

IMPORTANCE OF LANGAR TO SIKHISM
Bhai Desa Singh in his Rehitnama says, "A Sikh who is 'well to do' must look to the needs of his poor neighbours. Whenever he meets a traveller or a pilgrim from a foreign country, he must serve him devotedly.
Maharaja Ranjit Singh made grants of jagirs to gurdwaras for the maintenance of langars. Similar endowments were created by other Sikh rulers as well. Today, practically every gurdwara has a langar supported by the community in general. In smaller gurdwaras cooked food received from different households may comprise the langar. In any case, no pilgrim or visitor will miss food at meal time in a gurdwara. Sharing a common meal sitting in a pangat is for a Sikh is an act of piety. So is his participation in cooking or serving food in the langar and in cleaning the used dishes. The Sikh ideal of charity is essentially social in conception. A Sikh is under a religious obligation to contribute one-tenth of his earnings (daswand) for the welfare of the community. He must also contribute the service of his hands whenever he can, service rendered in a langar being the most meritorious.

Part of North-Indian Daily Meal menu. Made of whole wheat flour mixed with millet flour and pearl millet flour and with wheat bran.
Last night, Ross and I made choleh (a.k.a. chana masala) and my mother made chapati. Both these events gave her great joy. So did the fact of my taking her picture while she flipped chapati.
See?
Yeah.
I love my mom. We walked to the Point after dinner that night and she spent the ENTIRE walk wandering around attempting to make a video of fireflies with her phone. She is seriously cute.

One of the men rolling chapatti bread near the golden temple. I later tried my hand at rolling out some chapatti. I made about ten before it went from an amazing experience to dull and tedious. Needless to say I wasn’t nearly as fast at it as the Punjabis.
Scattered around the Western Thar Desert of India and Pakistan are villages of people calling themselves Bishnois. The Bishnoi are known for their staunch environmentalism. They are also known for their opium ceremony.
Away from where the men gather around their opium and chat, women continue their early-morning activities. In one of the houses, a woman is making capātī – from the Hindi capānā, meaning ‘flatten, roll out’.

A simple dinner for the Georgia and myself as Andy is working. I made chapati and a simple (or rather lazy) chutney using Prego chunky tomato sauce, chopped some asparagus and white button mushrooms and a teaspoon of nutritional yeast. Simple, fast and Georgia enjoyed eating it.
Chapati recipe on my blog: buttnakedbaby.blogspot.com
Volunteers prepare thousands of chapatis for devotees who partake langar (food) everyday at the Golden Temple.
