The 3 of us are going to Kollur for a cultural visit today. “There’s Miri!” I exclaim as Miri descends from the 9 o’clock bus and walks towards us. We burst into laughter. She is right on time, and didn’t know what bus Dinesh had planned for us to take. Oh, well,…

Some people filled the buckets, some drove the trollies with the buckets to the plants and some put…
