This entry has been inspired by one of my favorite photographers Steve McCurry. The latest post on his blog is titled "To Change the World" and is a beautiful collection of images showing people of all ages in a variety of conditions studying and doing schoolwork. Here are a few photos I've taken throughout my travels, mostly in India, showing the dedication of students.

Happy HOLI!
