Fly High at Kaala Ghoda

That contraption was labelled the Amchi Autocoptook, a highly creative individual's vision of what it would take to bypass the traffic in South Bombay - convert the humble zigzaggity auto rickshaw of the suburbs into a chopper that would evade the potbellied havaldars of the island city and help us reach our destinations on time... ingenious!

I'm Quackers about it! Green wooden duck for sale at a stall at the Festival.

The city's going to the dogs! An initiative to protest the rampant killing of street dogs in the city - the artists are arguing for compassion here. Methinks they should come to Parel post 3 am - the dogs here are so rabid that the last thing on your mind is compassion! (aaa, but then, I am the Pigeon Killer! *grin*)

Steel Dabbas. Part of the 'Bombay Project', you have steel bicycles with gleaming steel dabbas handpainted in reds and blues. You won't see too many dabbawallas on the roads carting these babies around, though!

Light up my trees... Pretty coloured lanterns hanging up there - very much for sale, and very much pricey. :) So says the cheapskate.
