I really like PG.
Devoted on the other hand is a little too zealous in his godly adorations for my liking.
Don't tut me, I am just part of a generation raised on a surfeit of choice. I have personalised, specialised tastes. My lustful conjectures must be placed in the right historical context.

The farmhouse itself was fine. Smallish, not done up well or anything but there was a river right outside the back garden and chickoo trees. I like sitting in gardens and not doing anything. Just looking at things. Just being able to listen to meek sounds, otherwise ignored.

Two of the girls are looking for husbands as the jyotisht said that this is their marriageable time frame. Even if they were 31 and the wise jyotisht would say "Don't marry" they would not marry.

They all eat well, and look it. However at the same time they still want to look slim in the pictures that they shoot to put up on Facebook. Clothes are changed for the pictures on Facebook. Sometimes photoshop is also used. Shots and reshots till the Face-booker looks perfect. And slim. And pretty.

A picture is a picture. It is not you. It is not forever. It is not reality. It is a moment.

Adherents might say it is personal brand management (on FB). Important for network development in society.

But who are you trying to convince? Then again everyone is convinced.
Everyone is living in FB and reality is posed pictures.

They were mortally scared of men drinking and playing cards while listening to hindi film music on the other bank of the river. They were looking at us. Well we were different for them. Something new. Even we came to their home to see something new. The river, the trees.

They made me sit inside the house. In a room. When I was on a farm.
I told them we can sit inside when they start crossing the river (coming toward us). Why now?

No, now. They were getting irritated with this foolish girl.

The men finished their game of cards and left.

We were going to stay an extra night but we also left. The reason being lack of safety. But I think that was just the ruse. You do what you feel like, detached from logical reasoning. Unless you are doing things for someone else.
