Jan. 13 Photographed until 12:00 noon, getting shots of the Indian children, cattle, cows & dogs at refuse dump, a man being shaved with old style jack knife - type razor - barber and his customer squatting on the ground, "shop" keepers sitting on the ground with their produce spread out in front of them. Thatched huts, etc. The children (& adults) are eager to be photographed. I had difficulty singling out subject matter because I often had a backdrop of grinning faces. The children would scuffle and occasionally hit one another to gain a position in front row. The barber combed his hair when he learned I was going to photograph him. At one time I had some 30 children all under 10 years old pressing against me with such force I could not move until the adults came to my rescue. Many of these children are poorly clothed and it appeared that about 2 or 2 ½ had a running nose. All were thin. Indeed, I have yet to see a fat person among the poor. The Indians are obviously fond of their children and among the poor the adoption of them constitutes one of their few costly possessions. In the afternoon Dr. Dast went off for an engagement and I continued my photographic work, getting a picture of the hotel and traffic along the main road to town. Found late 8" long (40+) on side of Ashoka Hotel behind large pipe. Animals arranged in tandem.
