Just got back from a visit to a village outside of Bikaner, where my mother-in-law’s family is from. In the middle of the desert, but still filled with life. We visited local ponds, schools that the family had built (and of which my husband’s grandfather is very proud), ate watermelons and other produce from the family land prepared lovingly by my nani-sa…

Many houses were made in the traditional hut style: thick walls made out of sand, round in shape, with thatched rooves. They blended in seamlessly with the surroundings.

I have never seen so many stars as I saw there. I milked a cow and held a baby goat! A big thank you goes out to everyone who made my visit so special.
