On to The East Coast via Bihar

The village of Ramnagar in the Bihar is where I stayed with Rickshaw Driver Diamond and his family.

I was there to accompany Rupesh, Diamond's eldest son, to Odisha for some intense studying and work experience on an NGO.

Unfortunately he was not accepted by the school, because all the exam certificates he brought with him were fakes !!

I was visiting Greenlife Rural Association.

My friend Tuku-ji operates a major programme of protecting the Olive Ridley Turtle,

as well as other important environmental issues.
