 Children by diageva
He also told me that the jewel he wears is also a tradition way to prevent bad luck and protect the child. Is normal that all this things are done when so many children die due illness at India. Leave a Comment

 harsh equality by Manyana
It might be considered as equality to some people, but it is sad to see a lenient woman works that hard!

 Local Boys at Agra Fort by Canadienne
As Indian families gather together for a shot, there are some lovely opportunities to capture the vivid saris, brightly-coloured sweaters and relaxed faces.
These young boys approached shyly to say hello. . .and stayed to pose for me. Leave a Comment

If you would need to caugh a bus, a train or a flight, then you will have the problem of the queue.
In India, as well as in a lot of places in Asia, there is no respect for queue
The rule is: the first one speak is the first that has to be listened!
Altough you are waiting for your turn, you will detect that hundreds of people will jump on your shoulder trying to overtake you...it will take away your hair..something really bad! Be patient, that’s the only thing to do! Leave a Comment

The best time to visit Agra is winter when the temperatures range from a low of 4.2C to 31.7C. The summer months can get very hot and up to 45C. I was there in the first half of April and it was getting pretty hot there during the middle of the day but still comfortable. Agra lies 169 metres above sea level. Leave a Comment
