On the move – by car, train, motorbike, rickshaw, bicycle, elephant, bus, on foot…that’s how I experienced India. Everyone one the move in some way or another, round the clock. Getting from A to B can be a challenge in India but this doesn’t deter anyone.  I saw a family of 5 on a scooter: Dad in front with young son in front of him on the running board. Behind him sat the Mom, in a sari riding side-saddle – wedged in between the Mom and Dad was a little girl. In Mom’s arms (and I remind you once again that she was riding side-saddle in a sari holding onto her husband with 1 arm) was a small bundle of what looked like a new born baby.

Taking a ride on a rickshaw – negotiate your price before you get in because the meter will most likely be off

These shoes were made for walking. Everyone walks with a purpose in New Delhi old city

Scooters, motorbikes. There are as many motorbikes as people in India (I think!)
