I'll bet he has other uses for that device besides beating off people who threaten him.

Indeed, I would hope the billhook is only used for non-human targets.

He seems very serious and determined.
I like both but the portrait is wonderful.

The expression was candid and I caught it just as he turned around to see who was following him. He wasn't happy as he first thought I was an 'outsider' (a non-Goan). Once I greeted him in our language he broke into a smile and we had a good chat.

What, you didn't have your sickle strapped to your waist?  ;D

Anyway, thanks for the always interesting in-context info!
