At a small Indian weaving center






A very long car ride through a maze of traffic, noise, pollution, and rough outskirts of the city of Hyderabad, India, will (if your taxi driver can find it) bring you to a handloom weaving center run by a proud man with only a first-grade education, who impressively invents and maintains all his own equipment from scrap parts and whatever else his astonishing ingenuity can come up with. (Those are his hands in the top photo.)

Leaving tomorrow for Patna to visit relatives of The Husband, and then Bhagalpur to visit a rural natural-dyeing center. Wish me luck to continue to survive the traffic.


Thank you all so much for your comments and support on my last post!
