Going to the tribal villages on motor bike gives one a full appreciation of the surroundings. As peaceful it is in the villages – especially at night- as hectic it is outside near the bigger cities. Never a dull moment in India. Funny how that lady hops out at the last minute too…

I started work on the documentary about the Jharkhand Tribes last week. The work is coming along nicely. It great to see the people and the nature again where I was a guest for two weeks.

Here is a little ruff clip about building a house for your enjoyment

At first I was surprised to see the tribal houses lined with clay roof tiles as you don’t see the in India so it seems almost out of place there. Especially in the remote areas. But as it turns out they make them them self.
