This is from a photo and a memory. At dusk in the city of Udaipur in India I ​had stumbled​ upon a wedding parade o​f carts and a camel-drawn wagon heaped with speakers ​blaring music.

At the back ​of the procession were a dozen or so kids​, each carrying basically a chandelier. The​ lights were wired to a generator on another cart​ that was so old​-fashioned, it would fit right in at the county fair if someone slipped it into a display of engines from the 1920s.

A huge flywheel spun lazily. A few of the girls​ struck ​Bollywood poses with their lights​ as we passed​. The camel had seen it all before. Eventually the whole thing meandered down a narrow lane.
