navia and the auto rickshaw

i shared a (small) auto rickshaw with Navia and 9 others down a very bumpy road in S India. Bone shatteringly shaky, it was impossible to take photos, suddenly the vehicle emptied and there was a moment of calm. Navia, who has great english skills told me she is 17, studying politics and later she hopes to study engineering. The religious iconography in the back ground is very common round here, a remnant of Italian missionaries who arrived at the tail end of the British occupation.
