Over the past 18 months, my extended stay in one area has led to a unique transformation in my experience. Known affectionately in the local neighborhood as 'the guy with the camera,' I've found a heartwarming sense of belonging. This recognition is a testament to the welcoming nature of the community, as I'm constantly invited to share meals and stories, creating bonds that go beyond mere acquaintance. My travels across India over the last twenty years have introduced me to incredible people in every corner, but this stationary period has allowed me to delve deeper into the fabric of local life. It's a refreshing change from my usual travels; getting to know the people and the place on a more profound level has enriched my understanding and appreciation of the diverse tapestry of Indian culture.
