Life is diverse: Scenes from sipra’s trip to India

Mar 6

Life is diverse... Live and let live is the motto by which India has lived through the ages and continues to follow to this day. The creatures that share the land with the people appear to respect that thought. They are almost domesticated and do not attack the human residents that share their world. The humans are kind too. On our evening walks, we regularly found a dozen or more wild dogs running to a gate outside a house as they arrived for a daily meal of meat soup and roti (dry flat wheat bread). They quietly ate, sharing the food and then left...there is so much to see and experience in India if you don't apply the standards of the western world to Asia and specifically to India.

Arrival in New Delhi, India. On the way to the hotel

At the hotel, Le Meridian. Classy and excellent care

The restroom at the hotel. Perfect!

The dining hall at the hotel. Unlimited buffet of foods from around the world. Freshly made to order if preferred.

Foot path vendors selling anything and everything.

The compound where my sister lives.

A view from outside her apartment.

Looking out the window day and night the peacocks and peahens call and hang out.

Peacocks and peahens are everywhere and feeding within touching distance.

and more peahens...

Just enjoying the sun and the passers-by outside a shopping center.

Waiting to get a grand breakfast at the hotel. Open to the public. It's an unforgettable treat.

Driving along the streets one sees the most expensive automobiles, and scooters and rickshaws and also sights like this!

Blow up the image to see what's going on. Well actually nothing is! The dogs are having a peaceful nap in the winter sun.

Figure it out!

With my daughter, Tai. Shopping at her favorite stall for the most beautiful and (expensive) shawls from around the world. The owner as you guess is Tai's good friend.
