blind bhajan singers hit the streets.


It seems to be a common profession for blind people to sing bhajans on trains, bridges, streets, roads, wherever. They are quite good and I think that it may be a blessing being able to just meditate on the Lord free from other distraction around you in the busy city life.

After Dwaraka we headed to Chorwad. I think it means "the Brititsh theives live over there over that wall". Its a small dilapidated business adventure in Gujarat. What remains are old castle ruins and fisher men. I spent the morning joining the village in their morning rituals of boating fishing and playing with dead eels. Despite their eating fish its was pleasant being with such simple loving people. Of course me and the kids got along well especially when the camera came out. Later we had coconuts cut by the 12 year old hatchet weilding beauty and then played hit the tire with the boys. Giant bats follwed us at night and the coral beach prevented us swimming in the arabian sea. Next stop-Somanath/Palitani.
