Bangalore


The first picture is a very, very, very typical scene from any corner or any street in Bangalore. Wall to wall people from 8 am to 10 pm. Auto Rickshaws belch along, spewing thick white smoke all over the city. I witnessed 5 accidents in one day, two involving men on motorcycles. There are no street laws, pure Darwinian chaos on the streets. 1,700 people have been hit and killed while WALKING in Bangalore in the last 3 years....yes, it is frenetic and overwhelming.
The second photo was a painting that hung on the wall in my hotel room in Bangalore. Beautiful.
