Tea picker doing household work
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Taken from a moving car, I saw this scene in the middle of a desert.
The plane sits by the side of the road, abandoned, as is the one-time airport that it last landed on.

Even though the scene's biggest poser is a relic of a bygone era - the scene around it harks to the birth of a new Time.
An overlooked reality!

This man wasn’t always a cobbler, he was an artisan, but set up this shop to deliver his craft firsthand, to cut out the middleman - to earn more to marry off his daughter.
I still smile when I see this photo and remember his story, and the cup of tea we shared sitting by the roadside on hyper-busy expressway
