During our time volunteering in Bhopal, we were invited by Mukesh, one of the gardeners at Sambhavna, to go to his home in Islamnagar, 10km outside the city. Mukesh owns a 3-acre area of farmland, which he tends in addition to his full time job at the clinic. He also have five children, three girls and two boys.
A very interestingly designed rope swing.
Here's Mukesh with his adorable baby cow.
Here Mukesh is biting into a fresh beet that he has just plucked from his garden.
This is the kind of stove some people use to make chapatis and other Indian dishes.
Mukesh's house.
This is fruit that I have never seen before in my life. It was green and crunchy, and you could the whole thing...kind of like a different version of an apple.
While in Islamnagar, Mukesh and Manmohan took us to see the ruins of a forified city, in which these two palaces still remain.
We managed to pick up an entourage of local kids...
Some palace residents...the Hanuman Langurs.
