We saw many different people in Matheran
doing their daily business. Many of them were involved in the "physically
carrying goods and people up to the hill station" line of work.
Some used their heads for supplies,
hay, baskets, and chickens
Some used muscle power to carry people
Some relied on horses to help them
and some just threw the load on their
back
We saw kids everywhere walking to and from
school
as well as kids bothering those going
to school!
Some women worked, while some women waited
and some women watched the babies
and the staff at our hotel was always
ready to welcome us back from a day's hiking with lots of food
and a monkey-free environment (notice
the guy in green's slingshot? That was to keep the monkeys away!)
