Jan. 25 Starving, diseased. Filth is everywhere - on the ground, in the air, on people's bodies and coating the vegetation. What a mixed up world we live in. Jan. 26 Out on roof of Grand Hotel at 8:15 am to photograph crowd scenes at Republic Day celebration. Parade only lasted about an hour. Rave out & film just as crowd began dispersing but got back in time to get what was probably peak moment. Formuleters lasted from 9:00 am to 10:00 am. Also got closeup shots of crowd, kite circling with people in background. Kite making a capture of an English Sparrow (?). One also seen with vegetable matter in beak. Nestling material? Got shots of street scenes - shot police boys, banana vendor, lunchster, banana vendor urinating, goats, etc. Saw a funeral procession. About 25 boys carrying a middle-aged man, face exposed, on a litter. The corpse was draped in white and the litter was decorated with orange crepe paper. The boys walked rapidly crying out loudly from time to time. I learned from Miss Mason that they were taking the body to a place for cremation. The bones are supposed to go into the Ganges. There are many ghats along the river Had dinner with Miss Mason and Stanley Clarke, a British T.V. man who had just completed a film on Hunger for the United Nations. Film made free of charge. Considered an idea to be asked to purchase film.
