Jan.26-Linking Road

Republic Day was a lot of fun. The place to be for the extensive hoopla was New Delhi. I watched some of the ceremony on television. Then I went outside and walked all over Bandra, where I live. There were sales everywhere. The main shopping drag in Bandra is a stretch called Linking Road. Among huge shopping centers and street vendors are many boutiques- think Rodeo drive meets Mall of America meets nyc’s Chinatown. Also add lots of dust, construction, and many people utilizing many modes of transportation fighting for a piece of the street. I turned onto a side street to find refuge from the frenzied energy of too many folks walking around with a shopper’s buzz. The street was lined with closed boutiques. As I walked along the street, I saw a cow standing on the stoop of one with her head pressed against the window pane either looking in or resting. I looked around wondering whose cow this was. She seems unperturbed, just standing there staring at all the beautiful clothes or sleeping. Don’t cows sleep standing up?




First, I’m not techie by any stretch of the imagination. That said, don’t expect pics anytime soon as I seem to have taken only three pics on a 50-pic card, probably something to do with resolution. So I know what happened but I have to figure out how to change the setting on my camera. I’ll probably need until March to figure out how to take, download, and then upload pics without such a time delay. Bear with me.
