I Know I Am In India Because………

  • Hot showers are just a memory
  • There are millions of colors everywhere
  • I almost got killed crossing the street a few times today
  • I almost got killed riding in an auto-rickshaw a few times today
  • Gold is the main investment, not deodorant
  • I hear a horn honking every 2.4 seconds
  • No traffic laws are being followed or enforced
  • I see entire families of two, three, four, or five all riding on one motorcycle
  • The street snack guy mixes and serves the snack with his filthy, bare hands
  • I see guys peeing outside in the middle of the city
  • There are nets on all of the windows and a mosquito “bat” somewhere in the house
  • I see huge truck loads of bananas every hour
  • There are cows in the middle of the street eating garbage
  • I see women everywhere with Jasmine flowers in their hair
  • Chappals (sandals) outside every house
  • The rain sounds like a train is coming towards the house
  • I see men digging deep into their noses in public
  • It’s easy to jump in an auto-rickshaw and go anywhere you need for Rs 20 (41 cents)

And finally……

It's like the term "personal space" has never been heard of

India is full of life!  I love this place! Well most of it anyway.
