Siguiendo en el sur de India, Kerala, mirando el océano no se pueden ver grandes olas, pero el oleaje en estas playas es fuerte, las olas se forman y rompen directamente en la orilla, son fuertes, envuelven y arrastran todo lo que se encuentra a su alcance, por eso prácticamente nadie se atreve a bañarse en estas playas en primavera.
Following in the south of India, Kerala, looking at the ocean, you can not see big waves, but the waves on these beaches are strong, the waves form and break directly on the shore, they are strong, they wrap and drag everything you find at your fingertips, that is why practically nobody dares to bathe on these beaches in the spring.

Kargil is the midway of the Srinagar-Leh highway, NH1-D. It is suggested halt for the night before reaching Leh for altitude aclimatisation. Our bus left Kargil at around 4 AM. Just as we were getting out of Kargil, we were greeted with this sunrise.

The Jat - one of the hidden tribes in Gujarat (India).
Dhaneta Jat girl.
The Jats who live in Kutch are particularly conscious of their identity as a group and their sense of unity comes from a perception of shared historical traditions and a belief in common ancestry.
Originally the Jats were herders who lived in an area called Half in Iran. Five hundred years ago these shepherds migrated from Half and came to Sindh and Kutch to search for new grazing lands. They crossed the Rann of Kutch and settled there taking up farming, they became known as Dhaneta Jats. Some have devted themselves to the study of the Koran and are known as the Fakirani Jats. All the Jats in Kutch are Muslims and have similar marriage and dowry customs.
The Dhanetas are the largest of the Jat Communities. They live throughtout north western Kutch. The Dhanetas live in the Banni, herd cattle. The men care for the animals and women remain in camp looking after their families.

Given its natural rate of population growth and aging characteristics, India is adding about 13 million new workers every year to its labour pool. India's economy has been adding about 8 million new jobs every year predominantly in low paying, unorganised sector.[13] The remaining 5 million youth joining the ranks of poorly paid partial employment, casual labour pool for temporary infrastructure and real estate construction jobs, or in many cases, being unemployed.
Labour relations
About 7 per cent of the 400 million-strong workforce were employed in the formal sector (comprising government and corporates) in 2000 contributing a whopping 60 per cent of the nominal GDP of the nation. The Trade Unions Act of 1926 provided recognition and protection for a nascent Indian labour union movement. The number of unions grew considerably after independence, but most unions are small and usually active in only one firm.
In 1997, India had about 59,000 trade unions registered with the government of India. Of these only 9,900 unions filed income and expenditure reports and claimed to represent 7.4 million workers. The state of Kerala at 9,800 trade unions had the highest number of registered unions, but only few filed income and expenditure reports with the government of India. The state of Karnataka had the fastest growth in number of unions between 1950s to 1990s.
In 1995, India had 10 central federations of trade unions, namely (arranged by number of member unions in 1980): INTUC, CITU, BMS, AITUC, HMS, NLO, UTUC, UTUC-LS, NFITU and TUCC. Each federation had numerous local trade union affiliates, with the smallest TUCC with 65 and INTUC with 1604 affiliated unions. By 1989, BMS had become India's largest federation of unions with 3,117 affiliated unions, while INTUC remained the largest federation by combined number of members at 2.2 million. The largest federation of trade unions, INTUC, represents about 0.5% of India's labour force in organised sector and unorganised sector. In 2010, over 98% of Indian workers did not belong to any trade unions and were not covered by any collective bargaining agreements.

Every evening, as dusk descends, it's time for the Ganga Aarti to be performed at the holy city of Varanasi.
It's a very powerful and uplifting spiritual ritual.
An Aarti is a devotional ritual that uses fire as an offering.

The Varanasi Ganga Aarti takes place at holy Dasaswamedh Ghat.

Independent India
Is being free citizen our destination
& being independent without discrimination
Where there is no place for cast & creeds
With people respecting each other and doing deeds!
Or do we ask where is love, respect in our nation
With so much hatred, pain and suffocation
Casting shadows of pessimism
and saying follow the Gandhism!
Let's starts a new vision
Be a true progressive Indian!

WISDOM
I had been walking for some time off the beaten track in Varanasi when I came across this guy walking towards me. We made eye contact and both stopped immediately. I could not help notice that he had in his possession a cloth that was wrapped around him, his necklace and one rather spectacular fork thing.
We stood there on the road for about 10 minutes chatting. It would have been easy for me to dismiss him as a mad man, well look at him. What ensued was a very long walk together through the main shopping road of Varanasi all the way through the main Ghat and down to the river together. We got a few pretty weird looks from both other tourists, and other indian people which I thought was classic.
For the 10 minutes we stood here, the walk down to the river and the 10 or so minutes we were together at the river Ganges we shared some of the most beautiful ideas and thoughts between us. I couldn't help thinking that a man that has so little (apparently) can of course focus on the important things.
The conversation was incredibly coherent, and the wisdom that came from this man was astonishing. An example. We were talking about what changed with british rule and how things have been different since they left. He felt that India was a country worse off for the time England ruled the nation because all they did was take from the country and the people with no thanks or gratitude for any of it and thought they had done good because they made the country more "civilised". He felt that this behaviour was now ingrained into the people ruling the country now that wasn't so present before. He conveyed this significantly more coherently than I have here, but you get the dea. This was not a mad man. We also talked at length about the desire for possessions, and he gave me a beautiful description of why the Ganges is such a special piece of water.
I met many people, both simple (yet incredibly complex) men like this guy and business men on trains who seemed super open to sharing their wisdom with me. These are an inherently spiritual people I think. I heard some of the most simple ideas that just resonated with me, and should help me live my life in a better way.

We ate at Karim's historic restaurant located near Jama Masjid in Old Delhi (one of the largest masjids in India). The restaurant was started in 1913 by Mohammed Aziz, who was a chef in the royal court of Mughal Emperors. His idea was to bring royal-quality foods to the locals. Karim's has now expanded to other sites, but still today, the fourth generation is still running the place at this original site in Old Delhi.
The highlights of our visit were the delicious naan bread, the mutton stew and the tandoori chicken. Besides the food, I was impressed with the way their kitchen areas are divided up into station by types of food. This photo is of the main curry station and this proud chef is in charge of making sure all the various mutton curries are cooked to perfection.
