This man made India street chai for me. I drank it in a disposable red clay cup… (Picture to follow.) Delicious! I asked if I could take his picture and he turned on the light so he could be seen well! Today we saw two well-run businesses that employ women who come out of the brothels. You may have seen Freeset products in Whole Foods and other markets. We spent the afternoon/evening on a walking tour down the narrow streets of Kolkata where the idols are made for the festivals. It was heart wrenching to watch the men adding plaster to the straw forms, literally “creating their gods.” The idols are then carried to the river and cast into the water. What doesn’t sink is salvaged and recycled and the process continues. The darkness is heavy. Much to consider tonight.
