Lol that's hilarious. I think I've seen some videos where people literally make omelette using only the sun's direct heat. That's just straight-up crazy. I too prefer the colder temperatures more. To be more specific, the kind of weather you see before it rains. That's like the perfect weather for me. Makes me feel more alive for some reason.

Yeah it is pretty crazy! And the weather before a rain? Oh.. I think I get what you mean cause it's usually cloudy beforehand and that cools things down a bit, cept here where I live the storms can move through so fast that right before a rain it can be cook food on the pavement temperatures. I like the weather right after a rain! Except, once again the storm can move through so quick it's right back to searing temperatures shortly after a rain, lol.

Oh, I never knew that you don't live in an urban area. I guess you learn something new everyday!

I live about a 10 mile drive from the nearest city, out in the wilderness... But not too far away from civilization! It's a nice area. Though kinda hard to meet people sometimes.

I can't really blame anyone for wanting to live around a little greenery. The need to live in beautiful environments is real and often not taken into consideration by architects and engineers. But yeah, you do make a good point. Some people don't get water to drink and some have enough to water their gardens.

I tend to agree. I mean in some cases I can understand it, though when some people don't have water to drink and you have water for cosmetic visually appealing plants it seems a bit unfortunate for those who don't have the water.

Exactly. The modern world is becoming more individualistic day after day, while these villages thrive off of living as a community.

Yet most people in the industrialized world would probably struggle or even die before too long if the power suddenly went out. So we really are more dependant on the community than many realize.

True, but again, I can't blame these people for wanting to enjoy their time. But I think recently I've been seeing more people wanting to volunteer for non-profits and such. Maybe our generation is becoming more aware. I would love to do some volunteer work myself. Not only are you helping the environment, but you're also making new connections with other people.

I didn't mean to imply that there isn't a place for games and entertainment, if it came out that way I apologize. What I meant was more that some(many) people do games and entertainment without helping others at all. I think balance is good, play some games, do some entertainment AND help others.
Also, it's good to hear you've been seeing more volunteers! Maybe things are improving. I hope so.

I wish you get to see it from your eyes someday. I'm actually going to post a photo gallery after this. You're free to check it out if you wish to see more of Rajasthan. I've saved some of the best photos for the gallery so I recommend that you take a look when it drops!

Word, and cool! I'll check out your page after I send this response.

Hmmm. I think we should let him compete. Even though two weeks was enough time, I can still understand that he was on an adventure and might not have gotten the time to sit behind a computer/laptop.

I highly respect and appreciate that.

More importantly, what good is a winner if he had no one to compete with, right? I think we should let him in. If I'm meant to win, I will. If not, he probably deserved it more than me anyway. But regardless, his entry deserves a second chance.

Well said man, you make a good point. We shall let him compete in the tie breaker round then since you said that. Cheers!
