While we were doing the bum thing in Khatia's village market and around, a man walked upto us and introduced himself as Ghan Shyam Prasad Yadav. He works as a cook in a resort. (Incidentally, a small-scale tourism-dependent economy thrives in Khatia, thanks to the national park. A lot of the houses here has one or two Gypsy vehicles for the safari goers. People drive them, get trained and work as guides in the park, and tend to visitors in many of the resorts. All good good good.)
