Snapshots of Dehradun




The room I share with Shivani.  

Shemrock school in our neighborhood.  Honestly the most colorful school I have ever seen.  EVER.

The local trash dump where one can view "wildlife" foraging.  I have seen dogs, monkeys, cows and carabaos all eating in harmony together.

Taking an autoricksaw to clinic.

Vikram's waiting to begin their route.  These are similar to autorickshaws but travel along a route and pick up as many people as will fit along the way.  Luckily passengers refrain from riding on the outside, unlike the in the Philippines.

Early morning monkey business outside my window.  They love to jump around the balconeys.  We have to keep the screen door locked at all times so they don't barge in.  Little buggers.
One of the main roads in Dehra dun.  This isn't even during rush hour.
Bathroom at one of the clinics I shadowed at.  
More monkey biz on the street.
The outside of the ob/gyn's office.  She does outpatient, maternity and surgery.  She lives upstairs.
Store I pasted every day on my way to the clinic.  Thought of Adam every time.
Delicious food at my host moms.  Clockwise from upper left: dahl, subji and of course chapati.
All the money has Gandhi on them.
More views from my balcony.

My most favoritest bull on our block.  I love it's huge hump.

  2. And where are the pictures of you in India? How do we know you are really there? Anybody tried to take your picture yet?

  3. There are a few pictures that Shivani took on Facebook. They have me in them. The greatest part about being the one with the camera is that I don't have to be in the picture!!

  4. Is someone riding that "favorite" bull? I mean it looks as though he has a saddle tan line.
    Oh and don't forget to bring me the baby monkey that I asked for- way back when... :)
