More India


Went to dinner last night at this after-hours kebab stand. "We can eat on the car," AT said. I thought he meant in the car, but he meant on the car. You order; take a card with a number; a waiter with a corresponding number pinned to his shirt finds your car in the street, props up the hood with an upturned 7-Up bottle to make it level-ish, lays down some newspaper and plates and plates of grilled chicken legs, lamb skewers, roomali roti ("handkerchief roti", paper thin bread cooked almost instantly on a convex grill) and buttery, spicy soft goats' brains.


The nimble roti maker.


Mango juice on the car-top bar. Good w/ scrambled goat brain.


Electric cigarette lighter at a deli (or something like a deli). Flip the switch and the little metal coils eventually get glowingly hot.


Thumbs up for Thums Up soda.

You are a braver man than I. I'm already significantly discombobulated by a country which to all intents and purposes is England but with much better weather. I think India would be a freaky step too far. But then, I am a wimp.

My thumb did not go up for "Thumbs Up". Its been 10 years since my last trip to India. Still hanker for its intoxication. Would I could, I would have returned again and again. Love your photos. Carelessly constructed with hauntingly explicit discoveries...
