Raman and Sushmita
Manamaiju, Kathmandu, October 2015
I arrived at Sushmita’s house and she pulled me aside and asked me "Guess who this is". I searched my mind, but I couldn't think of who it could be. Then she told me "Remember the baby you held [back in 2002]?"
Her nephew Raman is thirteen now—a lot taller than I remember.

Dadagaun, Kathmandu 2005
The road named Manamiju Marg follows a long slope. There is a bit of a crest, then a hammock-like dip, before it starts to rise again. Some of these friends and neighbors live in that “hammock” area. Between and behind their houses there are a terraced fields.
The day I took this photo, the woman in purple was visiting; one of their mother’s, I believe.

Afterwards (or perhaps before) I got my photo taken as well.
