Wash Hands Before Eating.



I took this photo on my last full day in India, in a busy part of Delhi.
The yellow writing on the wall reads "TO BE DEMOLISHED".
Shortly afterwards, my stomach was demolished.
Didn't take any photographs of that happening though, so you'll have to take my word for it.

Now I'm back in Berlin, rebuilding my stomach with German bread and bananas. All bananas sold in Germany are grown in Dusseldorf, where banana farms cover miles and miles of countryside outside the main city, believe it or not!

BEAR BIN IN BUNDI

I encountered this bear-shaped bin in Bundi.
Is this normal?

JANTAR? MANTAR!

In Jaipur now.
Spent a day taking photos, under the scorching sun, but with an (Indian) umbrella, in this place built a couple of hundred years ago, full of giant Hindu sundials and other astronomical/ astrological instruments. They call them Jantar Mantar.

I call them Gigant Antfarm.
The ants here are HUGE.
(Hindi word for ant is "makora").
There, you just learnt something.
Imagine a Makora Pakora.

BERLIN...DIA!

I'm not in Berlin at the moment.
I'm wandering around deepest Rajasthan in India, shooting an album cover for Shpongle.
Here I am in Alwar two days ago helping a pigeon that my our friend Niranjan rescued from crazed and hungry dogs. Photo clicked by lensmaster Rupert Truman.

People actually like pigeons here - food is left in places all over towns so our featherbrained heroes get enough to eat. Amazing.
The pigeon didn't give me rabies either. Amazing No.2.
I constantly have the feeling that I'm hallucinating here.
INDIA!
