"The heart and Soul of India is in the small villages" - Gandhi

I had a chance to visit and stay in a few small Indian villages on the trip. In the village of Tordi Sagar, I even had a lunch served by a farmer and his daughter at their village home - a good curry soup and bread. Their life is very simple  with a great deal of hard work simply to survive but they enjoy the joys of being together as a family I'm sure. 

The women play an enormous role in the daily life, not only fixing and serving the meals  and watching the children, but they also serve as the shepard for moving the cows and goats and work in the fields. The children also do not get a free ride, they help around the farm in many ways getting water from the well and working in the fields. You learn to quickly appreciate our different way of life!!

Here are a few scenes I captured while staying in the villages:
