India in Lomo-tion.

Gah I hate writer’s block. I hate it when I have nothing entertaining to write. Sure, I can blog about the Indian Maggi Mee that I had but I am so uninspired, sparks definitely won’t fly when I write about it.

Here are some pics to stifle to silence. Just doodling around with random pics from my collection and playing with Photoshop.

Enjoy! And don’t laugh if you find my skills mediocre. Blek!

cow by you.

The cheeky cow who tried to steals yer tomaters.

street intersection by you.

The streets of India. A distinct flavour of it’s own.

container by you.

Auto rickshaws don’t just serve to ferry people around, they are used for logistics as well.

ok horn please by you.

The must-have shot for travelers who come to India. India’s road users honk and honk and honk. There is no such thing as driving etiquette, no such thing as common sense, no good manners here when it comes to driving. Everyone is so engrossed in reaching their destination, they just tuck themselves into every possible space and barge into other people’s lane. Like how people stereotype Kancil drivers. But it’s 101x worse here! No space they also barge in like their car is made of rubber liddat. Wtf. And I’m just touching the tip of the iceberg here. See to believe.

tayar shop by you.

Tyre shops to serve India’s road users.

workshop by you.

The dancing rickshaw.

motorists by you.

The people crowding for reasons unknown to the foreigner who passed by. :)

roadside by you.

The well-off and the slumdogs. Take note of their living condition - Simply terrible. Sitting atop trash to pass the day…

dad and daughter by you.

Father and daughter. The father chased down the shy girl just to grab this shot. After that, he grasped my hands to take a closer look at the camera. I guess visitors to their territory is pretty rare.

mixed rice seller by you.

Say hi to the Indian ‘zhap fan’ uncle. I usually LOL at the sight of ‘Mixed Rice’ stalls in Malaysian kopitiam stalls. The term is actually a direct translation from chinese and it sounds funneh to me.

This uncle scooped condiments from various pots at his stall, while customers observed his enthusiasm as he whirled and twirled the food mixture it up for them.

As a rule of thumb, no roadside food for foreigners. We left with a burning tinge of curioristy of how this local cuisine tastes like.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures! I am in love with the Lomo~
