Ram Bhakta and a friend
Betrawati, June 2011
Next to the small temple.
Beyond the orange-colored blossoms of the tree behind, a view of the Falakhu.
All around, the timeless roar of the Trisuli.

Bina and sisters
Manamaiju, Kathmandu, June 2011
On December 9th, 2002, I took a photo of Bina and her three siblings Rina, Rabi, and Nisha (see below).
In 2011, with a copy of the photo in my hand, I tried to find them again so that I might take a follow-up photo nine years later.
(In the above photo, I believe that's Nisha in the middle;
she was eight-years-old and at the bottom in the photo below)

I have this photo scanned somewhere, but I can't find it at the moment.
Instead, here is the 2002 photo as it appears on my contact sheet of the negatives.
In this photo, starting clockwise from the top, they are Rina, Rabi, Nisha, and Bina.
Update: Found the actual photo and added it below
Nisha's laugh
Betrawati, June 2011
...as powerful and full-of-life as the mighty Trishuli river.
On a visit to Betrawati during the first few days of June 2011, I was able to visit Nisha and her family. I took these photos with the roar of the Trishuli tumbling by in the background.
