things I've seen in India

-a stall where you can pay 1 rupee to weigh yourself on a set of weighing scales on the side of the street.
-a holyman sitting on a tray on wheels, wheeling himself up and down the street wearing a hat with an umbrella attached and an enormous pair of sunglasses.
-people and their kids sleeping under bridges in the middle of the city, their clothes, brightly coloured hanging from washing lines above their heads.
-whole streets decorated with fairy lights, in fact, whole sections of cities decorated with fairy lights.
- For a whole day different groups of people in processions to dunk their Ganesh statue in a lake.
-groups of teenage boys dancing in a procession as part of a religious festival, really getting into their dancing and throwing clouds of pink dust into the air.
-dogs having sex.
-the next moment same dogs stuck together, growling and trying to get apart. ( a mental image that somehow stuck for longer than necessary or desired)

...and many more as well but as I am now into messenger conversation with a very good old friend they'll have to wait for another day.
