Photo by @johnstanmeyer / Remains of the mustard plant, called toori in Hindi, is hoisted by low-paid laborers in Guthor village, in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh⁩. This plant material will be used to as material burn in the brick-making industry. It's an image from my latest story in the magazine, "Water Everywhere, and Nowhere," in the August issue, now on newsstands worldwide. @outofedenwalk #walkingindia #edenwalk #india #sidhdharamkata #madhyapradesh

My first tryst with the state of Manipur, its amazing food and lovely umbrellas. That too with Paul Salopek and Arati Kumar Rao. What joy!

Ofcourse the people are great. They almost always are! :) #Manipur #EdenWalk
