Really a pleasant day of cycling in Chattisgarh, where I encountered road blocks, no not Naxalites demanding money, but groups of young men collecting small change for some “tayohaar” that I couldn’t quite understand.
My GoPro is giving me problems right now but I hope I can upload the video I took of tbis good natured fun- just like “old man” in Goa.
Funny how near borders, nationally and internationally traffic is less. I have experienced often, never quite as intense as my memory of Greece and Turkey in late sixties (believe it or not), and even here, between Chattisgarh and Odisha it is blissful cycling in this “no man’s land”.
Here is another sensational video of the same sort of donation but with the added drums….wow, this is good.
