Mission Naryanapura

Waking up super early is really not my thing. And 5.30 is a little early don't you think.
But the minute I stepped out, I was in utter bliss. Oh the weather. You are very lucky Bangalore.
Anyways, coming back to early morning. We wasted for our remaining teammates at the Dairy Cross bus stop. They all showed up around 6.45. Yes, I waited. Ughh.
So now its Shaun, Vivan, Aakash and I and accompanying  us were Mani, Muttu and Manoj along with Ms. Sharda. Shaun and AAkash took off on their bike. And to that I said, "Yeah right! you're never gonna find the place." I think karma has a way of getting back at me. I got lost. We went to a wrong village. Awesome right! I really am stupid.
Whatever. So after two long hours of trying to find Naryanpura, I gave up and took an auto.But we finnaly reached.
Naryanapura is a rather small village compared to its nearby villages, only thirty houses.
Mapping the assets of a village is a rather hard task. I was initially thinking of it in terms of  what exactly would benefit an individual in his work. But its more about the entire community. What are the institutions or amenities available to a person that are beneficial to him in his/her livelihood.
We saw a lot. We walked a lot. We did goofy things. But we behaved.
As night time approached, we headed home.
