Another interesting tour visit!!  We took a jeep and crossed through the desert

To visit the Bishnoi Village- here are the kids coming to greet us as we arrive.  I have heard many comments about Indian people and Indian culture, numerous of them negative.  However, do we realize that these people could actually live in a certain way yet they are happy and contented?  If someone chooses to live a certain way, shouldn’t we respect it?  I was truly humbled to see how the Bishnoi’s live.  They lived so so far from “civilization”.  There is nothing nearby to entertain or amuse them- no shopping mall, no TV, no phone,, no computer, no iPhone – and I am thinking – will I survive without all these? Yet these people were happy just playing with each other and living in a simple home.
