India - where modern technology fuses with the traditional



This picture may be unusual to anyone not originally from India. Shown above is an elephant wandering a busy bazaar in Mumbai. This picture was taken with my brother's cellphone camera, which are sold along with clothes, groceries and vegetables in the same bazaar. The poor pachyderm was rambling along the streets on a hot day probably on his way to be participate at a circus or a local fair or to be displayed at a temple.
It's just amazing how people were going about their business without making a big deal of such a huge creature in a crowded place. Of course, I was fascinated by the whole scene, probably the NRI in me.
