The Sights and Sounds of India.

Showing you guys the sights and sounds of the area that I live, as I cruise along the streets to run our weekly family errands.

First, let me start you off with a burly Bollywood star an Indian police man.

lan ying by you.

Yeng leh?

taxi by you.

Although India’s main transportation is their auto rickshaws, there are comfortable taxis for you to call when you need ‘em.

bmw by you.

It’s most comfortable when you have a daddy who can afford you one of these, a BMW 7 series OMG. (Sorry dear Akonana I know you’ll barf when you see this. -_-)

PICTURE HEAVY POST!
CLICK READ MORE PLEASE~ :)

auto driver by you.

Our auto driver waiting for us to finish our errands.

ruined houses by you.

Houses there are pretty much in ruins, dirty and shabby. And they do not bother to clean up.

ruined bricks by you.

Walls and any part of the city can be in ruins, and there is no MPAJ or whatnot shit to bother. THEY, the people there, don’t bother. Why should the officials butt in when the rakyat doesn’t care?

streets by you.

Vast roads that are empty most of the time.

food killer by you.

The Indian cannibal chicken seller. Eggs are white in India. And have big, gooey fresh yolks. Screw weirdo Omega eggs in KL. Oh ya, they’re using black plastic bags because the meat trade is sorta blacklisted in Gujarat. Gujarat is Gandhi’s birth place and most of ‘em are vegans.

fish monger by you.

Malaysian wet markets aren’t THAT dirty, come to think of it. Now that I’ve seen the real definition of ‘unhygienic’ conditions. It’s impossible to shop comfortably in a place like Carrefour here. Doesn’t exist. :( And DNAX, they sold us a big juicy black pomfret that turned bad. You see, they do not have refrigerators nor any ice to keep these fresh produce fresh. >_>

big ginger by you.

No money to run ad campaigns for your vegetable stall? Hang gigantic produce to attract the crowd. It’s funny though. Most of their produces are small and unhealthy. Yet this ginger can turn out so big? LOL.

bazaar street by you.

The crowd.

crowded streets by you.

Yet another busy intersection picture.

streetside barber by you.

India’s street side barber shop. And you thought it only existed in TV? No, it’s real. You can see hair being snipped off as you cruise by their streets.

streetside indians by you.

The poor live ON the streets. I kid you not. The stuff on the little push carts and the clothing hanging on the walls, are all their wordly belongings. No bed, no toilet, no cooker. They sleep on the floor, urinate and shit on the streets, and cook with whatever stove they could find and start a fire by themselves whenever needed. Ocassionally, Mr Cow or Mr Dog will drop by as a guest to gatecrash.

dirty vs clean by you.

See the pearly white buildings behind? They are houses for the rich. FEEL the contrast as you see how dirty and rundown the roadside houses can be.

Okay the end! Thanks for viewing, hope these pics give you the feel of what India is about.

    they say India is one of the few places that can make you feel like you’re in heaven in Malaysia LOL.

    speaking of marketing, don’t say business lah, you will faint just by trying to shop here. very dulan one. nice when you’re viewing their stuff, turn very nasty when you reject ‘em.
