Last winter we visited my parents in India. My daughter had to do a school project about the meaning behind certain rituals in Hindu ceremonies. We were going to have a Puja (religious prayer ceremony) at home for my Dad’s 70th birthday and so we went to the big market in the city (Monda market) to buy items for the puja. I took my film camera and made some photos. Almost everyone wanted to see the back of the camera to see themselves but alas we had to wait several weeks for the film to be developed.
