Andreas
May 2008, Strasbourg.
In May 2008, I had gone on a road trip along with a few friends to Trier in Germany and Strasbourg in France from Bonn. Even though I had scanned the photos from the trip a long time back I never got around to posting them except for one photo. So over the next few days there will be a small series on my impressions of Strasbourg. Incidentally, I played poker for the first time on this trip and Andreas was the one who taught me how to play it. After that poker became a favorite game.
The Chenchus XIII
November 2008, Nallamalla Forest, Andhra Pradesh.
With this the second part of the series on The Chenchus posted earlier comes to an end. You can follow the complete photo essay here.
The old man is the chief of the Chenchu hamlet Appapur which is inside a protected reserve forest. He was a very jovial person but behind his ever present smile I sensed a sadness caught as he and his people were between an overbearing government on one side and until recently far left radicals who used to threaten him and his villagers if they co-operated with the police.

This is the wife of the chief of the Chenchu hamlet we visited last. She also serves as the priestess for the hamlet. You will see her husband in the next photo.

The house in the photo was actually built by the government for the Chenchus. But they prefe to stay in their traditional thatched huts. So the government built house is being used as a shelter for the calf.

The old woman in the photo was collecting fallen seeds from the tree behind her. The seeds which are not high in nutritious value were the primary but unreliable food source for her.
