147. The Village Saga (Week 2)

2010.04.09
pixel
A farmer at work.
You see here a harvest of the wheat crop.

As the crops are getting harvested, work starts for the next crop. Mostly sorghum (jowar) or millet (bajra).
These areas have 2predominate crops.

You see here two women tending the newly planted.

HDR ofcourse.
A slightly desaturated summer sunset.

The darkness awaits...

"Braving the village dirt roads, now basking in the warm summer sun..."

Giving my car the royal treatment she deserves!

I think I can start my own village saga till the time I stay there. Weekly addition to my pictures as well my stories.

I think these may become a bit long but then I am not posting atleast 4-5 days of a week. And isnt that why blogs are for? :))


This week was better.
Reason not because i got used to.
Rather, my dear friends and colleagues were with me there and work got divided among us. Non work time, time was well spent cracking jokes and insulting each other, bright young doctors we are! :p

Not much learnt either.
Okay. learnt better to control the patients. trust me they can be very unruly sometimes.
Sometimes, even when u dont want to you gotta scold. :))

Learnt responsibility and answerability. A non medical personnel can be more experienced in certain matters regarding patient care but at the end of the day all liability ends up on the doctor. Not that anything happened. Not everything should be coming by experience. Instinct takes care of the majority. Take care huh?

Learnt few more words of the local dialect. It is fun.

Learnt to sleep without even a fan at 40degC (104 degF)

Among other stuff.

Discovered the awesome practical applications of using back button focusing during photography.

Enjoyed driving through the village roads.

Realized i am taking too many HDR shots. :))

Realized if not for the heat I may fall in love with the villages.

Well it was quite an enlightening week for me.

What did you learn recently?

I just love your black Subaru (?) against the orange sky!
I can only imagine how you struggle with maintaining discipline among your patients! :)) Just relax and go with the flow, Soub!

????? Awesome set.I like the first shot and no. 3 mostly. Very nice car in that lovely romantic orange sunset ;-) It's good to have relax and play jokes... It must be a hard job to be doctor with all the responsabilities the rôle involves. Hmmm... recently I'm learning about myself and life... ;-) Thanks for sharing!

livelovelaugh I love all of your shots. You certainly learned a lot this past week. Fantastic! I learned that I am beginning to hate 5 hour car trips and that instead of being scared, I was thrilled to ride on a motorcycle. :)
livelovelaugh · 2010-04-11: 22:59

Clickpen very good
Clickpen · 2010-04-14: 10:32
longimanus that things that can break will break and always in worst moment and that its not worth going mad about it, patience (but than always realize its just temporary, something I`ll never really learn), changing car wheels ;-) seeing the first three beauties, no wonder you fall in love with these villages :)
longimanus · 2010-04-15: 05:46
????? Wonderful shots again!!!
????? · 2010-04-15: 05:56
dontblink 2 and 3 are fantastic! wow
dontblink · 2010-04-15: 23:00
SADHYA Just realised that I never commented on these. That is a shame, as I LOVE the first. As I have probably mentioned before, I am not a big fan of HDR so that influences my comments on the rest.
SADHYA · 2010-04-16: 13:48
tomie beautiful set!! all are wonderful specialy you're car ;)
tomie · 2010-04-16: 14:57
