Very strange, but hilarious!

Rajasthan

When (If) you visit India, there are a lot of things you will begin to hate and some others you fall in love with.

To visit a city in India that reminds the visitor of palaces, forts and tigers, visit Udaipur in Rajasthan.

Udaipur is also known as the city of lakes. For me though, it was the city of palaces. There were a number of palaces - some of them are now hotels, others serve as residences (for the royals I presume), while others are museums. It came across as a very grand city, however chaotic the streets may have looked. It was beautiful and a place I definitely wanna revisit.

This photo is for one of the gates of the City Palace. Exquisite artwork. About Indian Art - To the casual observer, this art may look primitive, though detailed, and the perspective renderings of the artists may appear to be flawed. However, Indian art is more focussed on the special characteristics of the object, rather than the object itself. E.g - a rendering of an elephant will not be an exact representation, as to do that is 'simple' - however, to appreciate the elephants beauty, the artist would place special emphasis on the elephant's trunk and ears - which are unique to the elephant. This would thus make the art exagerrated, but the artist would acheive his the emphasis he desired and so gain satisfaction :-)

Below, a royal boat in the Pichola Lake. It looked splendid.
















The absolutely regale City Palace. Picture Perfect. Reminds me of some renderings I've seen of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.











And finally, a view of the rest of the city from the Lake.

Garbage Collection

Some of you may have heard of Bangalore. Its where most IT jobs are coming to in India. If you're in IT as well, chances are you (or someone you know) has already been to Bangalore.

There are though, some things that one will not find in newspapers, magazines or on TV.

Example Question - What does a Bangalore garbage truck look like?


See for yourself.

Notice that this picture is taken in what is 'downtown' Bangalore - Brigade Road. Notice the number of people sorting the garbage in the truck. They dont wear any shoes, gloves or any protective clothing. No masks nothing.

Whether the garbage has toxic chemicals, used medical equipment, plastic, cockroaches or condoms or anthrax, these guys will sort the garbage by hand, take what is useful for them and the rest goes to a garbage dump.

Excited by this? Wait for more.
