Block I stayed.
Park of Richmond apartment. Dust path
Living + dining hall. Chan and Ashid having breakfast.
Boon joining the crowd.
Drying our clothes inside the house because sunbathe them at the balcony will end up with lots of pigeon shit on our clothes.
Kitchen and our maid Milan with salary of Rs 5000 per month.
Temporary maid, Beam (16 years old) who replaced Milan for a few weeks. His salary is only Rs 25 per day.
Beam took off his jacket and posting for a shot.
To private rooms
My room the smallest room with private balcony, but enough to fit in 2 twin beds and yet with ample space left.
Master bedroom.
Second room with private bath room & balcony.
Looking out from 16 floor of my apartment.
Goat farm besides my apartment.
Panoramic view of the scenery from my apartment kitchen. Looks hazy right? It can be worst when it turn cold. As it hardly rain in the winter, the fog in the dawn and morning will just mix with the smoke and remain in the air. Moreover, it comes with burned smell and makes you dizzy even though you stay outdoor for only a few minutes. I missed the air quality of my homeland although once in a year, for a few weeks time; the air quality was defiled by open burning from neighbor country.
My maid and 2 of my colleagues sitting in front... quite pathetic for the rickshaw man, but sometimes they take even more like a whole family.
They painted the tree trunk with white paint. What's that for? Since there are no streetlight for most of the road, it was used as the glow at night that reflect the vehicles' headlight.
This is explain how a 3 wheel auto can fit 20 people.
That's their home.
Wiring were so messed up, no wonder power always tripped in India.
Hanging around at traffic light... when the cars stop, they will approach hoping to earn a living for the day. Be it Business or fashion magazines, they have plenty of stocks.
Circus clown on the road. With a hula hoop, the girl will perform all kinds of gymnastic as fast as possible before the cars start moving again. When she has done, she will knock on your car's windscreen. One thing different from my homeland is that the performer will actively ask for money instead of passively wait for sentimental people to give.
Barber by the roadside.
