Incredible India

  • The rustic smell of earth and the arsenic laced air.
  • A forlorn dog, looking for food.
  • A businessman on the run with $1.7 billion.
  • Three businessmen on the run with $3.5 billion 
  • Five bare foot toddlers running towards free food. 
  • An aged cobbler on the street fixing soles, while broken souls walk past him all day. 
  • Wires, wires and more wires. 
  • A large leafless tree ostracized by the birds and apologetic for not being able to provide shade. 
  • A cow rummaging through trash waiting for a plastic ban to take effect. 
  • A selfish crow with a large piece of bread in his beak with uncanny resemblance to Nirav Modi. 
  • A swanky couple exiting an Audi Q5 immersed on their iPhone X. 
  • An equally un-swanky doorman hoping to buy an iPhone X in his lifetime. 
  • A streetcar named desire parked on a street named despondence.
  • An election poster on a wall that admonishes posters on the wall. 
  • A man blissfully taking a piss on the wall under a “do not urinate sign”.
  • A mosque, a Syrian church and a Hindu temple on the same street. 
  • A run down shack, a gated apartment complex and a fancy bungalow on the same street.
  • A corner shop with no corners to be found anywhere.
  • A sign proclaiming “Lane Discipline” with no lanes on the road.
  • A temple priest offering salvation while pelting stones at a stray dog.
  • Street sounds creating a melodic symphony that resembles a dirge.
  • A perfidious taxi driver ogling women passengers while massaging his crotch, with a sticker on the rear of his car that reads “This taxi respects all women”
  • An auto rickshaw driver stopping in thick traffic to assist an old, visually impaired woman to cross the street.
  • A big rig truck with “horny please” sign on the back
  • A car with the sticker honestly proclaiming “Sometimes when we miss someone, we keep checking their profile…” 
  • A tempo (mini truck) with this sign painted on it’s back. “No one stays a virgin, life fucks everyone”
  • A used sofa cum bed on sale.
