Rabbit Lady…. Rabbit a wage helper

Rabbit Lady

A lady with a Rabbit

It was the first time i saw such big rabbits. Its not the condition that Rabbit here in Delhi are Malnourished but just the fact is according to the weather of Manali , rabbits hair are not shaved and they help him keeping himself warm.

Angora wool clothes is the main industry found in Manali region other than tourism.

We met this lady in Van Vihar. She had this rabbit in her arms , was stopping everyone to have a click with rabbit in their arms for a charge of Rs 20. Though i clicked her picture and payed her Rs10.

We talked a little bit also with her. Its her daily wage earning method. she lives on the hills and comes down to Van vihar every morning walking around 2 hrs on terrains of the hills. As she told if she would come by straight roads it would take her more than 3 hrs to come down so she takes her own route.

Had a family of five with 2 childrens in it and husband a farmer and mother. She said she had to do this because she  wants to support her husband, his earning is not that much so he could fulfill all the needs of a family. Government exempts school fee of her children but there are many other things which her childrens need. Summers are the best time to earn something extra by the help of his Rabbit and in off season she goes to apple plantations to pluck and do the final processing of apple’s.

I could talk very less to her as it was her working time and she was too shy to give any answers.

Had to say bye and moved forward….
