India's Splendor & Squalor

India is a complex, crowded mass of humanity.  It is also a place of great peace, reverence, grandeur and tranquility.  A friend characterized it correctly as both splendor and squalor.  I saw both in my week there.  Unbelievable poverty and indescribable beauty.  India quickly hits all your senses:  you see it, taste it, smell it, feel it, and hear it.  Here are some pictures of both sides.

Ancient, ornate tombs

Iconic, beautiful Taj Mahal

Home sweet home
