Photographer’s Note
It was at the end of May and it was very very hot walking around the streets of Jaipur, so I decided to take a small tuktuk - just to cool down. I no longer remember where I wanted him to take me, but I remember that the place was closed. He asked me if I wanted to come with him to visit his family who lived 25 km outside Jaipur. My first thought was that it probably wasn't such a good idea to go alone with a stranger to a small village 25 km outside town....but he seemed like a nice guy so I decided to follow my intuition and said okay.
A bit later we arrived to a very small village with only a few houses. We stopped in front of a small house where the tuktuk drivers parents lived. They were happy to see us and within a few minuts the whole village were standing in front of the house.
We spent the whole afternoon with the family and the rest of the village and it was just a great day :O)
.....always use your common sence.....always follow your intuition.....and always think well of people you meet!!!
