 Age no bar. It’s all in the
head |
 Going at it brick by brick,
till it is all done |

| If you want to learn how to put your head to good use, come to India! One thing I find fascinating is how people here are able to carry huge loads balanced on their heads. Everything from sticks to bricks, from water to food, is transported this way. Sometimes, one hand will lightly balance the load, but more often than not, the load is carried without using the hands at all. I’ve seen women balance as many as a dozen bricks on their head, and gracefully carry them without dropping a single one! And age doesn’t seem to matter. Old or young they seem to do this with equal ease. |
