Kolkata: Distribution 9, Tarakeswar

From Kolkata 2012

The Colours and Tastes of India

Today we had a smaller distribution about two hours away from Kolkata.

Venturing to the site we came across some wonderful sites and colours of India, which we would like to share with you ...

• lime green newly-planted rice seedlings contrasted by the darker green potato plants and the bright yellow mustard seed plants
• the beautiful rainbow of colours of the women in the fields wearing their saris
• the bright yellow ambassador taxis, and the hot curry we eat each day (sometimes twice, sometimes thrice)
• the black coal, goats, and cows
• the turquoise-blue-hued kingfisher flying around the melon-sized multicoloured dalhias
• the too many billboards

From Kolkata 2012

• the delicous hot boiling tea
• the red painted feet on a few of the village women
• the children arriving in their fancy festival clothes
• mango juice, spicy cashews, flavorful dates, and hot chilies (don't confuse these with green beans!)
• burgandy hennas
• the red dot on the forehead and line down the part of their hair to symbolize a married person

Can't believe it is Day 9 with only 1 distribution left...

till tomorrow...

Team Kolkata 2012
