Here is how the bread gets delivered to many little stores.  I could tell by the smell it was very fresh.

He has been faithfully at this post for many years.  I rarely print for myself. I’d rather compile a photo book.  I print for friends, which at this point, include:  footballers, beggars, coolies, guardians, car drivers, guards, tea stall operators, etc.  I will leave them all behind in 35 days, which will be a major life style change for me.  No more daily 35 cent breakfasts! A cup of tea for 6 cents, etc.  I’ll even have to drive again! 😦   It will be a pleasure to spend 12 days in Switzerland checking out our roots, touring with our friend, eating cheese and chocolate, and chatting over many cups of coffee. Oh, I suspect I will take some photos!! 🙂 It was a rainy day so only 4  footballers showed up this morning.

I have known this young man for many years.  The big bag is full of muri, similar but smaller than puffed rice.  It is used to make a very tasty, spicy snack called jhal muri!
