Part 1 - A Day out in Pune

Sunrise

On my way to Khadakwasla Dam,

i stumbled upon a humble abode and my camera couldn't stop clicking to capture this unique sight....

So i had to get up front and personal to satisfy my curiousity..

This lady was making bread (something similar to Chapati), she would mix flour in a silver bowl and cook it in a wok over a slow make shift fire just outside her humble abode....

Check out the primitive stove!

These kids play around as their mother cooks..the older boy was curious with my camera while the younger boy shys away..


I was invited to try a piece, it was very tempting so i had to pinch a little wondering what it would do to my stomache....i did it! it was warm and plain, tasted exactly like Chapati!
(P.S. I was fine the next day but i wouldn't recommend you try it)

The family
She smiled when i showed her the pictures i took of them.
It was a pity i didn't have a polaroid to leave them as a souvenir.

Next Stop: Khadakwasla Dam

Stay tuned ;)
