I've never in all of my 30 years witnessed an orgy of the senses quite like this.
The flow of life races on by in the streets of India and if your not quick enough then you'll get run over, literally.
"In India my friend anything is possible in the streets", Harresh had told me the first day we had met. Its an Intoxicating medley of controlled chaos really as one begins to grasp the energy of life in India.
It is true that, anything is possible, in India.
Within a 20 foot walking distance it's not uncommon to pass by dogs, cows, water buffalos, bulls, donkeys, elephants, camels, monkeys, pigs and even rats if one where to look close enough.
Those are just the animals either working or aimlessly wandering around in the streets that are shared with giant lorries carrying massive loads of grain along with, Tuck tucks, Rickshaws, motorbikes, scooters, and push bikes.
And then there is of course the stream of people walking amidst all of this.
The roads in India resemble a large flowing river where the congregation of business is conducted inches from the flowing stream of motorized vehicles.
Who needs the internet to shop when you can walk 30 feet and be approached by 100 industrious indians selling just about anything one could ever imagine.
