India in the morning is a different animal. The air is clean, the place has the smell of a western city, and the streets are clean. Its a pity that within 12 hrs it will look and smell like a pig sty again!
These are some images from this morning
The street is full of security guards loafing around…

There are lots of the lower caste people out doing their thing in the early hours (this is at 5.30am)
Like the street cleaner man, this is his street and he is the man who sweeps it and dont you mess with him. He gets really angry with people who park their cars on the side of the street before he has finished his morning clean of the garbage,

The lifts in this building are possessed… this is the old one that rarely gets turned on, Cindy thinks its the better of the 2 but I hate it as its coughs and spurts and sputters its way up and down, and the lift cage you are in kinda bounces around in the lift shaft!

This old guy and his wife live in the apartment building car park, it appears their roles here are just to sweep the driveway and carpark, all day everyday. They seem happy though…

Just walking down the street past the street people who just pull up a piece of cardboard and fall asleep, this guy was snoring his head off.

One of the thousands of billboards that litter the place, most arent as boring as this one, some have the most freakish words on them that just make you go hummm…

This is Westside and Pantaloons our local department stores, Pantaloons is good as it has a fixed price supermarket on the top floor, its not big in fact its more like a old fashined corner store than a real grocery store, and if it sold beer it would be even better! On the other side of this mall is a hidden gem…Pizza Hut

Crows, crows and more crows, Pumpkin really hates these crows, plus have a look at the scaffolding on the building there, thats for the painters who are painting the building by hand, they spend all day hanging off that bamboo
