The commute lacked for very little in terms of sensory stimulation...here's some of the more attractive color in women's clothing material...
It was always fun to see the school kids in uniform for school...
Some popular shopping options - shoes or steel cookware, or plastic crap.
Hungry anyone?
A very popular corner temple...
A beautiful white-haired woman...
It was truly amazing what could (and was) frequently carried on a bike...
Once in a while the fruits or veggies on the carts did look ok, if you ignored the dust, pollution and insects among other food safety concerns.
There were some real reasons to think about being a vegetarian, religious considerations aside. Mutton and pork were readily available though...
Chicken anyone?
Fresh fish? .... NOT!
Another construction scene...
Never a shortage of life - people, animals, insects...
Another splash of color with women visiting a temple.
I liked that this picture turned out a little blurry. I felt terrible taking it, but the poverty along side of the road was such a part of the fabric of life in India. These blue tarp villages ranged from long-standing to highly mobile, with workers digging a trench and then moving on once it was completed. The proximity to the road offered a daily glimpse into a life that really brought some perspective to the daily "nuisances" of being an expat.
On a much lighter note, there was the "Dinning" hall.
Another temple
I found this one in particular to be a little violent, with the gods with knives on each corner...
And this is just hysterical as marketing goes...
