Now this picture ain't so clear. But I've encircled the object of interest. This is a new house being built in Moga, a town some 75 kms from Ludhiana. Generally we hand lemons and green chillies at our door steps to ward off any ominous spirits or people. These people went a couple of thousand steps ahead and hung ... yes , a baby doll. That explains the lower quality because of zoom. I didn't wanna get near that friggin house any more than necassary.

Here's another case of bad - mass - naming.
As the name of the agency suggests, there are 'brothers' involved in the venture.
So first off, Kuldeep is called 'Deepa' which is a completely feminine name, one that even gay-s would like to stay off.
Next up is 'babbu'. Although it closely resembles a well-meaning word synonymous for 'an elderly person' , it spelling leads to a pronunciation which resembles more of what a toddler sitting at the backseat would utter while you wonder just how many imaginary friends he's got in the back seat and weather that is leagal.
The third 'brother' is 'kala'. This one is just plain offensive. It means 'black-y'. It's like naming a brother who's got retarded growth a 'retard'. Retards.
The last brother is a typical punjabi nickname. 'Lucky'. I wonder if he wasn't then wud he be stuck amongst a better bunch of brothers ?

Heights of merchandising.
Every company wants to be in the most visible position in the limited space. Look at the poor guy inside the shop. He can probably barely breathe in there.

Our man here in Jaipur mutilated the meter in order to emphasis the ridiculous point that 'they don't run on meters'.

Fuckers.

Got the common cold ? Have 3 spoons of cow urine to cure.
Acme problem ? Rub cow urine on ur face 5 times a day.
One piss cure all !

My pick from the menu .... Booty ! Ofcourse what gets me is the presence of idly in all that carnage.

Man ................. is an animal, after all

Here's what I saw while working the markets in Bangalore. The second one is more representative. More of similar kind are lying close by.

Ye India ka Cricket hai ... Beedu

It's a fact that this country's mad about cricket. It's one thing reading it on ur screen.
It's a completely different thing feelin it on a 47 degree afternoon, where you have set up a stall, watching eager kids and hags pretend to be the tendulkar's and the dhoni's of the world.
Sigh, I just wanted to go home.

It used to be an international ground at one time , but for some reason they cut the funding or whatever. Now it hosts shady local matches. Anyhow, it was my first time on the field of a stadium.


That's 'em buggers. Noone had a sun stroke. Sigh ...

I got my own pitch report ;)

Location : Jodhpur
A very weird picture this. The camera was working fine. The buildings looked fine. The weather was great. I had just had a nice lunch. Yet for some reason, this pic seems a bit flow-y. Like the bottom part is slipping to the left !

Location : Jodhpur

Direct translation of this would mean "Piss House".
For some reason they couldn't use the actual terminology in hindi, 'shauchalaya'.
I took a picture of the horrors inside the "piss house" also. But I can't put it up here as people with a weak heart might also happen to see it.
