[Traffic jam]

Soon after arrival on the ground of India

 sensing different kinds of wind

Small car caring my body

is just stuck into traffic jam



This is not so surprising

as driver telling me at this busy time of the day

Cell phone with Indian music is always ringing

so that driver is busy to call back all the time

Cars are just like as streams of river

No one can imagine@how we can go through this river

Safely arrived on the Hotel

seems to be miracle





[Under the Banyan tree]

Folks are sitting on benche

under the gigantic tree

Avoiding strong sunshine

Chatting with friends all day long

a common custom in Dhelhi

Shouting loudly on cell phone

with someone whose face can not be seen

Only voice telling existence

Otherwise no one cares to whom he is taking

A scene going on under the tree

Only Banyan knows whatfs all about



 

[Sweet stuff]

Come and get whatever you like

to tast sweet stuff@in this conjested restaurant

At lunch time @people are busy ordering their menu

a bit of curry and nan

No seats are vacant for new comers@untill one finish own food

I ordered spicy noodle and@kinds of vegitable mix for take-out

Looking over the kitchen is the place where

 cooks are busy to stirr

After 20 mins or so

My order in a basket is ready to go

warmness and fragrance @stick my empty stomach

forcing me to go back to hotel

 with some regrets not ordering sweets





[Digging deep]

Not surprising things like this

On the street of a mega city

Tapwater leak is not too rare

Workers are digging the ground

 

to find out where about

Finally they found the point

Then work starts for the fixation

Old pipe will be replaced to new one

But  years from now

 same incidence may happen

in other location repeatedly

which will help workers sustaining their job

 for sure

 

 

[Morden vehicles]

This air conditioned bus

may be comfortable enough

to carry passengers to a long distance

Even under the harsh summer

and polluted atmosphere as well

otherwise

Drivers may get lung problem

sooner or later



 

[Street sellers]

Voice of fruits sellers@shouting along the streets on residential area

where evergreen trees making shade@for protection against sunshine

Colonial place of Delhi is where one can enjoy@peaceful atmosphere

Jet plane overlooking implies that@airport is not too far from this place

Red coloration of Bougainvillea adds@the point of the signal

Telling us summer is coming soon

Sound of birds, blowing winds and leaves of trees

reflecting the pressure of the air move

A little hazy sky over the streets

is also something we can feel in Delhi

 


 [My train]

This is a quite experience that first class@of the cabin is a double deck

Printed name on the train indicated@that your seat is confirmed

What this means unless you made@reservation ahead of time

You are not allowed to go into train

Upper deck is for those who is not senior@I climbed on the upper deck bed

Worker brought me sheets and towel@for a good sleep@This is what we call here

First class treatments@to the destination @Amritsar

@Even the express-train delayed@on the scheduled time

Not too surprising anymore
