We had nothing to do on a Sat afternoon so we decided to head to Anjuna at my favorite place, a less known shack (if I were to name it here it wont be less known anymore, would it?), and

All around different faces I see
Some are happy, some in misery..

The women in front is holding her jacket tighter, seems lost, or looking for someone/something, the african lady behind her seems to know her way across, and the weird stare from the 3nd lady on the right hand side seems to say “I know what you did last summer”, with the numerous people in the crowd behind make it interesting.

In 1991 the Indian government banned any show featuring snakes with the introduction of a new wildlife protection bill. But here as can be seen is another failed bill. There are around 8,00,000 snake charmers in India who know only this act as a way of earning their bread. This
