Maina and the Camera
Maina and the Camera
Maina's son and his father seem contented. They are at granny's place -a tiny tribal settlement in the forest. Maina arrived at her mother's home by motorcycle late in the evening with her family. The next morning the doctor visited them before returning to the capital city of Raipur (100kms away). I used the same MP4 player-cum-camera to take this snap and to take a lttle video of raised pulsations in Maina's neck veins. We sent this by email to the consultant internist at Bilaspur (who travels all of 6 hours each way for a fortnightly clinic) with a little note on Maina's condition. He in turn phoned instructions for her treatment to Ghasia the village health worker, on the WLL (wireless in Local Loop) telephone which was recently installed in the remote tribal village.
Little changes- electricity, motorcycles, roads, WLL phones and cheap digital cameras that bring the benefits of specialist doctors' advice to the remote jungles of central India.
