I so enjoyed this post. I totally agree that having a glimpse of people go on with their daily lives is much more rewarding than just seeing the typical tourist scenes. I was fascinated with the ancient fishing nets and not surprised at all with the sight of garbage next to something beautiful. It's India after all, a fascinating land of contrast.
