After all the social chit chat over dinner, after asking about the health of second cousins whose names one can’t remember, you talked about your work with the salt-pan workers in rural Kutch, teaching them micro-finance, helping them source loans to buy bicycles with, and streamlining age-old work processes; this is REAL WORK, not sitting on a chair in an air-conditioned office, or so I think.

the other work is real too, but perhaps less meaningful in a larger context...
Source loans for bikes? It's hard for me to wrap my head around- I think I have it tough. No, no I don't.
manu- how much does my work matter? not at all. How many lives do I impact? None at all. :)
babyisland- these women save about a dollar a month, grit-poor, they work in the desert and use cycles to go to their salt pan plots or take kids to the next village, to a doctor or bazaar.
You worked with the salt-pan workers in Kutch?Whew!!
Not me- the guest had.
