Subject: The old man from western state of India Rajasthan may look hopeless, if we look at his polythene made house at his back or his condition.

But in fact, he owns more a few dozens of hectare of farming land, which has become useless because of long series of drought in the state.

Still, he is hopeful, for tomorrow ... like thousands others ......

Culture: Despite of tough time, people keep their culture live... The traditional turban the man is wearing, lengths more than 50 meters.


Rural India - Real India:
As a small window to Rural India, I am starting this series with few selected images showing very rustic life of North India (mostly from Haryana, Rajasthan and few from other parts like Andra Pradesh and Orissa).

[Note: Image quality of this picture is not justified with the subject, as I had only this low still quality of 1mp camera when I encountered these people of Rajasthan]
