Outside a suburban railways station on the Western Railway in Bombay I met these two lovelies going about their rounds. Could they tell I was a friend? They were happy to pose for the photo after a gave them a donation. I always give money to Hijras.

If you are on an important mission and you encounter a hirja...it is a good omen.

This little sentiment among Indians accomodates the Hijras in India

Very kind of you, Edsita, but I posted a photo of a hijra on a train a while back
(http://www.indiamike.com/photopost/s...php/photo/4409) so the above might actually be the second picture on IM of hijras :-)
