A new born baby, somewhere between Jaipur and Delhi

It was a very long journey, and we had to stop in someone's back yard to fill up with petrol. I went out for a stroll and in the road there was a car full of girls squashed into the back seats. As soon as they saw me they ushered me over. I popped my head through the open window. They lifted a blanket and showed me a newborn baby. She had been born that morning to a young girl who sat back with a towel over her head. They were so smiley and proud of her and the mother. I felt extremely privileged that they wanted to show me.
