Hi there - International man monkey git of mystery here. Finally got down to Bangalore yesterday, been a gruelling few day but got a lot of work done. So took pics on the way when I could, here we go. These are of Mumbai, although they could be any large city in India. The traffic is mental. mopeds, motorbikes, auto rickshaws, cars and BIG lorries all try to get into the same space while honking their horns all the time. it is complete bedlam

Each state in India is huge, and has its own local government. Chennai generally was cleaner, fresher and nicer than mumbai. This was a piece of art in the airport

TATA is a huge global company from India. Apart from making trucks and cars , they also own Jaguar, Land rover and Corus. Most of the trucks are taken great care of, and painted up like this one.

These auto rickshaws or tuk tuks are everywhere in India. Little 3 wheelers made mostly by bajaj, they ae cheap to hire and quick to get about in. healt and safety law has not made it to India yet!. Again, most of the drivers are proud of their vehicles.
Chennai is in a state that has instigated the "one rupee Idly" for one rupee ( one penny) you can get an idly (puffed rice cake) with a chutney sauce. No one needs to go hungry in this state.
