My life: Indra Jaswar

 

Self-description

My name is Indra. I run a (tea) shop and also study. I'm in ninth grade now.

Some guys have come to the shop and are singing Bhojpuri folk songs while the kid dances along...

I took this picture because this is a tea shop. You can get things to eat and drink here.

These are people from Arampur and they represent all religions--some are Hindu some are Muslim.

This is a picture of our Arampur. The guy there is sitting on a motorcycle.
