Village Elder

We met this handsome man while walking through the village of Rameshwar. He was in no way phased by being asked to pose for some photographs.

John, I’m glad you asked him. Stunning and of course I really like his mustache.

    Distinguished maybe a bit strong for me, especially when my mustache wax melts away – bad hair day considering little of it (hair that is) exists otherwise.

        Yes , remarkably disciplined for a change. Have adhered to it all well, however I do take the metro and avoid a car if possible even otherwise.

        Ah, the Metro….that’s quite an experience…..up close and personal style! Pleased to hear that people have seen the sense of it. I do hope that it goes some way to ease the pollution.
