Trip to Pune: part 2

I didn't take me too long to get a feel for the area. There were very obvious landmarks and such, only that the city seems to continue on and on.
A couple days in I felt up to walking through the red-light district. Mid-day, I told the auto driver the location, memorized the direction, and upon arriving was greeted by basically what I'd just left. There are sections to the city and such, each I'm sure with it's unique qualities, only it wasn't what I'd expected. I'm not really sure what I'd expected from a red-light district, more open I guess.
So I wandered around for some time until seeing a cluster of young women obviously waiting for something. It was probably about 3oclock by now and, as I understand the routine, they'd probably not been awake for more than a couple hours or so. My naivete was helpful in that I could plunge into the place but it wasn't long until I was being semi-swarmed by prostitutes grabbing and touching my arms and propositions. The alley wasn't too long, a couple hundred yards, and luckily fairly wide. And being early in the day the experience was not as discomforting as it could have been. One of the girls, older, probably mid 20s, was obviously strung out. The experience was obviously sad and terribly eye-opening.
I tried to find that alley again the next day but could not.
A couple days in Christina and I were encouraged to make a day trip to Mumbai whereupon we would meet up with one of the lawyers for Freedom Firm and his wife.
