PATNA, India (Reuters) - Farmers in an eastern Indian state have asked their unmarried daughters to plow parched fields naked in a bid to embarrass the weather gods to bring some badly needed monsoon rain, officials said on Thursday.

Naked girls in Bihar state plowed the fields and chanted ancient hymns after sunset to invoke the gods. They said elderly village women helped the girls drag the plows.

How wonderful to have such views from your window. It is so lovely there, even in the storm.

Thanks for the item. I’m looking forward to getting it. ;-)

I believe that somewhere along the line I’ve seen you are happily married. Probably when talking about rain dances or something... LOL

I think those EBayers probably went to look at a football game or something. You’re misinterpreting their disappearance. Keep up trying to get a bid. Somewhere there is a job opening for you with your experience.

Yes, not too many people can make it rain by not threatening to dance nekkid in the garden, that’s for sure. Marketable? Well...

And upon further reflection, I realized another nuance of your post that shocked me so much. You love women, and an old woman, regardless of gnarled fingers and gray hair and a stooped back and a wart on her nose, still holds beauty for you if she is a nice person. I admire you for that, AF.
