In India
Well here I am in India again, so a few photos for enjoyment!
The flight from London to Bangalore arrives at 5.30am, so the first photo is the sun rising over the suburbs on Friday Morning.
The second photo is a typical Indian truck taken yesterday as we passed a toll booth on the Bangalore ring road. Indian motorways have their own unique driving style. In theory the Indian road rules are as in the UK: keep left unless overtaking. But that doesn't happen: the trucks, limited to 50kph hug the central reservation so overtaking is on the inside. Crazy but it seems to work.
The last photo taken in the city centre is a street vendor selling roasted nuts. The smoke is from the charcoal fire under the loadbed... note also the squares of old newspaper used to make paper cones in which to serve the nuts...
The road sign is also typical, and usually ignored by all...
India is something else, but possibly not a place for modern Morgans!

I was there when they opened the 'new' Bangalore International Terminal. Put it all in perspective for me. Stay safe!
Cheers, They have opened phase 2; it makes The new Terminal 2 at LHR looks a bit shabby... Time from stepping off the aircraft to stepping into the taxi? Less than 30 min.

I've been traveling a few times a year to India since 1975. Nowadays I go once a year on business, to Rajkot (no problem with the food, it's all vegetarian in that city), and Pune, which I enjoy very much. Usually have to transit for a day in Mumbai, which is much the same as it was when I fist visited 40 years ago.
