India is a place that shows you many faces. At the same time both compelling you and dissuading you from wanting to experience all the sights it has to offer. A place rich in history. People ho at times baffle you with their warm, outgoing, hospitable nature. While at other times people who lie, cheat, scam, swindle and plenty of other adjectives you can think of.

Cows getting a Tan

Cows roam free here in India, treated as a sacred animal. Not sure they have a good life though, all I ever see them eat is garbage.

Streets of Bundi

This is an example of what the streets of Bundi looked like. They are mostly alleys that twist and turn there way through this old walled city. I got lost many times.

Children in the Bundi Market

Vegetable Stalls in Bundi Market

More of the Bundi Market

At times I spent hours roaming around the market, chatting with people, taking pics and just enjoying a glimpse of everyday life.

Locks for Sale

In India everything is available for purchase right on the street.

Bundi Artwork

All over town there are images potraying Hindu Gods, I think this is Vishnu, but don't hold me to it.

Best Guest House in Bundi

This is the place I ended staying for nine days. Was like one of the family by the time I left...

Lake in Bundi

There is a nice lake in the middle of Bundi.

Pinky and Roxa Cheffing it up...

They cooked some of the best food I've eaten yet in India and no case of the Delhi Belly when I stayed there.

Thampi

The middle child of the family, I liked to call him the joker of the family...

Holy shit
Is the maharaja 12 years old like in Indiana Jones and the temple of doom? Are those the same monkeys that stole my camera in Borneo? Awesome pictures man. I will think of them when I am sitting at my desk at work which, even in New Zealand, is a fate worse than death. Have fun and be safe and stay crazy.

Jealous
Glad you overcame your ‘on the fence’ attitude about going to India. Definitely is a love-hate kinda place. Everywhere has good and bad, the trick is to discover the good. We’re jealous of your Indian family, but happy that you found them. I can’t imagine what we will feed you when you return, or better yet -- what will you feed us?
