Uneasy in Asia, comforting in D.C.

This
picture was not taken in Pakistan or India. It was
captured on the National Mall (Washington D.C.)
during the 4th of July
celebration on Saturday. Organizers laid out some
charpoys in the rest area of the event staff and
volunteers. Charpoy or
chaarpai (or manji/manja in Punjabi) is
used mostly in rural areas of South Asian countries.
