You don't


No, people-from-the-bank-in-India-who-put-out-this-mat-in-front-of-the-entrance, you don't.
You really couldn't possibly.

You knew that already, didn't you?

Unsuccessful errands


I had an unsuccessful day. I went out looking for four different things. I made three different stops. I found zero of what I was looking for. Took up five hours of my day.
But, as usual, I saw other interesting things
At the coffee shop where I stopped for some tea, I sat on the balcony and watched the tide come in on the sea of motorcycles below.

At another stop I saw something new.
Do you ever look up at the ceiling? I do. And today I was rewarded. There were barefooted men walking over the panels of whatever the roof is made of, squeegeeing it.
Here's a brief look at the action:

Here's my latest theme song:

Random

I never get over the things I see while in an auto ride through the city.
Here's a list:
  • Girl slaps guy at bus station
  • Man with chicken under his arm
  • Man on the back of scooter holding a ladder straight up in the air
  • Construction worker digs around dog
  • Horse carrying bricks stumbles over speed bump, drops bricks all over the street
And you know what else? Amitabh Bachchan called me. (Okay, so it was just a mobile phone advertisement.)

Pink people


There are pink people walking around today.
Why?
Because yesterday was Holi and they threw paint at each other.
Either it doesn't wash off easily...or they didn't try to wash it off.
There are also pink cows, dogs, streets and autos.
I guess it disappears after the next rain.
