In the streets of old Delhi

Streets in old Delhi are choked with traffic. Rules do not seem to exist. The traffic on wheels is doomed to a permanent standstill. Walking is the best option
 The sidewalks are blocked with exhibits from the neighbouring stores, foodstalls or beggars sometimes asleep
Being an electrician must be one of the most challenging professions around here. Apparently in the time of monsoon a fireworks of electric shorts stops the power supply in the houses
Street kitchens offer all kinds of typical specialities with names like samosa, jalewi, hupra, nuwpkin, chok and dhonmanli
Nextdoor somebody has a fruit stall
 Nice to watch the whole hubhub from above...
 This girl watches and feeds a sheep tied to a fence next to Jama Mashid mosque
It eats quietly in all the chaos around
But despite all the chaos and the loads of people, it is a friendly and safe place and fun to walk around
