my favorite india moment

Amidst the chaos, or shall I say mayhem, or maybe bedlam, or pandemonium, that is the traffic in India, I found myself in my favorite moment. We were at the end of a 10 hour drive into Ludhiana and we were slowly making our way to the hotel. This tuck tuck was suddenly in front of me. The women looked at me and I looked at them and we smiled. I held up my camera and they nodded. I took this picture. Then we looked at each other for a little longer, all the while smiling. As the tuck tuck pulled away they waved and I waved and I think we all knew that something special had transpired. I found myself praying for these women this afternoon as I drove to and from my parents house. Maybe I'm the only person who will ever pray for them.
