Palika in Mayapur

After recovering from a bout of sickness I decided to go for a wander outside the temple complex to check out everyday life in Mayapur. It is about 4pm and the midday hustle and bustle has settled for the day. This is what I found.

What I like is the spirit and simplicity of the locals. They seem content and cheerful. I like to watch and learn from their example and I often wonder how I could become more tolerant like them.
