I was in rural Maharashtra last week, wondering what use they could have for computers. It’s not an easy question considering the state of infrastructure.

Bus driver and conductor got off to hand-crank this petrol pump. It must have been hard work, considering the crank fell off often and driver and conductor took turns at it.

The trip left me longing for another round of Cambodia.

      It's remarkable how much Cambodia is like rural India.
