Prior to my visit to Tibet, it was difficult to visualize contemporary Tibetan life, leave alone the activities they engage in on sunny summer afternoons. The brilliance of nature contrasted with the normalcy of human activity. Nothing reflected that more than the Tibetan fondness for playing outdoor billiards and, apparently, for gambling as well. The absorption in the game was so intense that the players were impervious to being photographed!
I know this as pool. Great posts and shots @medha. Looks like a great way to pass time!

That's incongruous! By the way I think it's Pool rather than billiards, or Snooker as it is known in the U.K. I wonder if they have Snooker champions? Plenty of people from Asia play and win. They also like to gamble. I love the strangeness of these pictures, great stuff thanks.
