We stayed yet another night in the home of the Kapur family, up at 5 am while the day is cool. And then the days visits begin. All day he keeps us supplied with food, beer, as much as we want and we visit all his friends around the narrow streets of Karnal drinking tea when we stop at each friends. Another visit to the potato storage for a swim which is now more than necessary has the temperature has topped 115 degrees and is almost unbearable. We have seen the way of life here more than anywhere so far, they live very simply the whole family under one roof.
Later in the day his wife has prepared food for us though she does not take any part in the meal she waits upon her husband like a servant, she doesn’t even speak in English to us though she can understand it. The marriages are arranged by the parents from birth and they think this is the best way.
