A little video I shot on the street outside our flat after India beat Pakistan in the Cricket World Cup semi-finals. Things in this video are pretty calm compared to how crazy things got. My favorite is the little man who I told to wave at the camera... haha. I'm thinking he didn't speak English. Oh well! GO INDIAAA!!
It's days like today when I love the city I live in. I blame it on the pleasant spring weather and the lazy Sunday afternoon feel that the streets get when the masses of people are inside rather than out. I'm coming to find that life is just lived out in front of you here. Whether good, bad, harsh or beautiful, it will be shoved in your way without your choosing most of the time. Life here is intense to say the least, but when you take time to slow down, look around you and peel back the layers, one finds beauty in the madness. I am beginning to see it. So, today I decided to bask in the afternoon sunlight and make some neighborhood friends. Here are a few pictures of what I saw...
drinking the afternoon chai.
