Hyderabad: Slice of Life 2

Stuck in a traffic jam after dark.

Hot chips seller. I was rather fascinated by the wooden board he used to shred the potatoes into the boiling oil. Alas, no picture of that in action.

View from the office.

A friendly match between our Malaysian college (on your right) and Indian ones.

'Executive volley ball' where men in smart working attires partook after work.

More lovely Indian sunsets.

There were a good number of witty roadsigns such as 'Speed thrills but kills' and these,

A peacock decoration in a sari emporium. On the same day, in a similar shop I also saw an altar dedicated with 3 symbols in a frame. The Sacred Heart of Jesus sat in the middle, to its left was a Hindu deity, to the right, some Koranic script.

Malaysian township where we stayed.

and lastly, our flatmate.

The mosquitoes in our apartment seemed a lot slower than those in Malaysia. They are much easier to kill. I hadn't seen too many cockroaches when we first moved in. However, towards the end of our stay, we tend to come across dead ones regularly. The speed at which the ants dismantle the roaches were astoundingly fast. In a day's time, naught but an empty delicate shell would be left. With the slightest touch, the shell too would came apart.
