It happens only in India

Got a bunch of film rolls processed in digitalese. Will upload some more soon. These two photos were taken on one of those rickety-rickshaw rides, when everything seemed to be going wrong, when every turn we took turned out to be a one-way in the wrong direction setting me back by another 20 mins, including this right turn on Cunningham Rd. (Yes, in Bangalore, just for kicks, they keep changing directions of existing one-ways too!!). After I saw this, I called up my colleague and told him, that our meeting is canceled and proceeded gleefully to shoot the proceedings :-) Oh, and I can still hear the autowallah that day, thanking profusely and blessing my three generations to come for emptying my purse onto him.
[Next in the photo series: July 4th fireworks from Austin]

Hey when was this? Tell me the approximate date.
I saw something similar happening in Rajaji Nagar two weeks back. :-)

Nikhil, it was sometime late last year, and looks like things never change back home :-) Btw, wassup with those never-ending Airport Rd /Bannerghatta flyovers?
Gawker, there was some construction going on(as you can see on the right side) and they were trying to unload a bunch of heavy metal pipes or some such stuff. The sheer weight of it, tilted the truck. I just happened to land there amidst the proceedings, and was lucky to have my camera to capture them.
