I never asked Nehru what he usually does on Sundays in Guyana. That should be interested.  

stringing iguanas up like that should be deemed cruelty to animals. they should have them in cages.

I used to go to the local creek to catch fish.

First pic, are they cooking chowmein or custard in the bush?  

At Airport, maybe cricket or setting trap in the cornfields for towa-towa!

In GT, shining up, brill-creaming to go Starlight and check out "chicks!"

WTF!!

1.  Why are the Indo kids walking around barefooted, and the mother has on slippers? Is that not dangerous?  What if they step on a piece of glass?

2. Are the iguanas used as pets or are they eaten?

How if someone strung the catcher as he did with those poor iguanas?

Valid question Vish, why are those children walking barefoot ?

VM, I suggest you visit Guyana and see how people live. Iguanas grow as huge as tyrannosaurus rex bai. What you see in the picture are just hatchlings. You should see the rats, they are as large as hyenas. The cockroaches are as big as Alaskan King Crab.

I suggest you visit Guyana and get in touch. There are those who brag about their wealth, homes, cars.... A genuine human being will help those in difficult times and identifies with their pains and share what little he has.

People who enjoy their wealth all by themselves, without sharing, are no different from animals who fill their stomachs with what they grab. Such a person is not a Vaishnav.

Valid question my foot. Gilbakka attended primary school most times barefoot. I ran errands for my parents most times barefoot. I stumped my toes, walked on pimpla, got a bottle cut in a drains, etc. But I never got chigga.

Bai, you hit it better than I could.  He is a talker!

Interestingly, the first thing we did when we started the Learning Center was purchase over 200 pairs of slippers for kids to attend school.  I remember my sister-in-law compiling a list of names with foot sizes and went to Guyana Stores and street vendors and filled it all in the trunk of a car.  When she arrived at the village, more kids from neighboring villages came for slippers!

Went to primary school without owning a pair of shoes. Walked barefoot on the hot road at lunchtime. Got caught in the rain returning to school after lunch and sat in wet clothes all afternoon. These were common conditions for most kids growing up.

There is no vice in being poor either. Poverty taught me not to waste stuff, to cherish even cheap stuff, to strive for betterment, to educate myself, etc. Come to think of it, all these things make up the virtue in poverty.

So true. Whilst some will pave the way with petals for you, there are others who will throw or set pimplas.

Thorn. Walking barefoot through tall grass you could encounter thorns on hidden fallen branches. I stepped on one. My grandmother extracted the broken embedded pimpla and then dropped hot soft grease on the spot to prevent infection.

....KP and Skeldon-Man with his NANCY (I got this word from Django dictionary) stories.

Anansi (/əˈnɑːnsi/ ə-NAHN-see) is an Akan folktale character. He often takes the shape of a spider and is considered to be the spirit of all knowledge of stories. He is also one of the most important characters of West African and Caribbean folklore.

He is also known as Ananse, Kwaku Ananse, and Anancy. In the New World he is known as Nancy, Aunt Nancy and Sis' Nancy.^[1] He is a spider, but often acts and appears as a man.

Vish,

hopefully you know who is Nancy,the above explains.

Why don't YOU send them something. Seems like a lot of the folks here help out already in various ways. Plus thru the school alumni associations in the US. Instead of lecturing we and asking shitty questions day in and day out, send dem people back home a lil freck nuh?
