There's nothing quite like a bone-rattling cycle-rickshaw ride through the narrow, bumpy streets of Old Delhi.
 |
| Welcome to the narrow lanes of Old Delhi. At times you can barely walk through the alleys, much less navigate them in a rickshaw or a two-wheeler. Even goods have to be delivered to the shops with people-power -- mostly hand-carts, occasionally cycle-rickshaws. |
 |
| Looking at this maze of wires, is it any surprise that electric power is extremely unstable in India? |
 |
| Like the bullocks in Agra (previous post), these goats are painted with henna. "786" is an auspicious number to Muslims -- especially in South Asia. |
 |
| I don't know if this goat has had white spots painted with henna, or is this color naturally. |

| A bullock cart surrounded by modern cars in a parking lot. |
 |
| In India, auto repair rarely takes place inside a shop. |
There's no limit to what can be hauled on a hand-cart or cycle-rickshaw.
 |
| Need a ladder? We've got your size. |
 |
| Yes, those are gas cylinders, and they don't seem to be secured. |
 |
| A human-powered school bus. |
 |
| Since John and Mandi had to return to Frankfurt tonight, I'll let them close this post. |
