After three weeks of travel through Vietnam (southern part), Cambodia (Phnom Penh) and Thailand (Krabbi and Bangkok), and after returning home to Krishna Diamond Apartments in Sahakar Nagar, Bangelore, I walk to Domino’s to order Chicken Delight Pizza, medium, thin crust, and garlic bread to take away.
Walking down the street that leads to Domino’s and Big Market on the T corner, I pass by a mature Indian man with black hair and gray moustache, pushing a four wheeled cart loaded with bamboo poles up the street’s incline. He doesn’t miss a step or beat. I pass by a car parked – driver (father) in driver’s seat, one daughter seated in passenger seat digging into a bag, her younger sister standing on edge of passenger seat, chest, neck, and head out open window looking at bird jumping from branch to branch in tree on side of street, edge of sidewalk. How the tree got there I don’t know, but I’m impressed and pleased with the powers that be that allow it to continue to grow – giving shade to an inquisitive child. A few metres further, a street dog walks in the shade of a four wheeled cart loaded with boxes pushed a young man. Bicycles, carts, scooters, motorcycles, cars, minivans, SUVs and the occasional autorickshaw pass by, randomly spaced, not congested or plugged like downtown Bangalore at rush hour, or Delhi 24/7. Feels like a neighborhood.
