Working with one University near Jaipur, helping to start a business incubator. Last weekend went to Jaipur, after one meeting with a University in Jaipur, had time, walked around inside of Pink City, old Jaipur, where all buildings are pink colored, though found couple of new houses different colored, driver of auto rickshaw said owner of those houses had to/have to pay fine.

Studied philosophy, transgender, last 10 years homeless, next month join a nursing school that he thinks help him to get job and a shelter. He said people gives him weed, drugs. He on an average earns USD 30 every day. I was saying to him to change his slogan "Kindness is good, homelessness not a crime" to "Today is cold and I dont have a shelter". I gave 1 address to him where can share acco with 2 other transgenders like him. He was asking USD 5 from me.

I said to her Princess Diana and she became more friendly to me.
