This is a shot from a local department store. No, they were not having someone’s surprise birthday party but a power trip. It happens so often that it becomes part of people’s everyday life. There was no panic, no screaming, and not even a single kid cried! You can hardly avoid this. Even in a five-star hotel, you get it, too.

Driving in India is difficult but driving in India at night is even more difficult because in most places there are no streetlights. I mean, there are street lamps along the way but they are just not turned on. Drivers rely only on their own (and others’) headlights trying to make their way avoiding each other and, once in a while, people (whose skin colour blends really well with the nightscape) attempting to cross the road.
