Classic Car ( Mt. Abu Rajasthan India)

Anyone looking for a ride into nostalgia can do it here, these vehicles have been made the same from day one. You can buy the same make, model, etc. etc. except in a brand new version....sweet!

Kite Flying (Mt. Abu Rajasthan India)

The young boys are really into flying these very small kites. The kites remind me of some of the Chinese fighting kites that I have seen before.

Apparently, they get them battle ready by gluing crushed glass on strategic areas of the kite and string to bring down the opponent.

I saw these two lads on the roof top flying their kites on a sunny afternoon.

Traveling Music (Mt.Abu Rajasthan India)

In general terms.... India is chocker-block-full of very sweet gentle people awash in garbage, noise, dust, animals, amazing marble temples, more noise, stunning scenery, the sweetest little kids you ever laid eyes on, strange little temples in funny little nooks and crannies and soooooooo much more. Thats if you just step out on the street....now go for a walk and it gets really intense. Did I mention the noise everywhere ?

Wandering Monkeys (Mt. Abu Rajasthan India)

These monkeys sit on the road side waiting for snacks from people passing by and I'm not sure why their tails aren't flat.

This particular road is one that winds several kilometers up the mountain and is very narrow most of the way and extremely narrow in some other places. The monkeys have really long tails and I have often seen them hanging over into the road way. Why they don't have flattened tails is one of the mysteries we encountered here on the mountain.

Wandering Kid ( Mt. Abu Rajasthan India)

Lila WAS posing with this wandering goat/kid but when she saw the poster behind her decided to high tail it out of there before getting splashed with chocolate!

Wandering dogs and cows (Mt. Abu Rajasthan India)

Here we see the local wandering critters getting some' take out' at the neighbourhood garbage burning pit. Yup they all wander through and get what ever tickles their fancy.

I have seen sooo many cows eating cardboard or paper. I suppose it is ok .....it's cellulose which is the same thing as grass. I can't imagine what the milk would taste like, bleckh!

Mellow Pooch (Mt. Abu Rajasthan India)

Holy smokes it's like... 9:00 am.....well past nap time! He probably got tired of wandering.

Wandering Cows (Mt. Abu Rajasthan)

The cows here...."actually all the animals" states Lila, "seem so mellow". I'll agree with her, you have to be a mellow animal to survive on a street here.... at any given moment trucks, cars, motorbikes, etc.etc. will pass by within inches of your nice long floppy ears.

Wandering Goats ( MT. Abu Rajasthan)

Everything wanders free here.... cows (of course), dogs, cats, goats, horses, kids....everything and everyone. This is just a pic of some goats hanging out together meandering up the street, looking for a bite.

The life of a cab driver (Mt Abu. Rajasthan)

In Mt. Abu and probably other places as well they have these small garden carts which are taxis. Padded seats, little side doors, it's a nice open air way of getting around....pretty swanky.!

If anyone reading this is looking for a low stress career change this could be it. By the look of things here stress is fairly low......possibly they conceal it well? I can introduce you to some people in the trade.
