Silly Snaps

India is full of quirks, and Suzanne and I have been snapping photos whenever we see something ridiculous. (Suz is the camera woman behind many of these shots, so credit where its due.) As I was collecting these pictures to share with you all, I realized that many of the photos already published on this blog would fit into this post as well (see children riding motorcycles and students overflowing into hallway). And, believe me when I say, there are so so many outrageous sightings that I wish we could have captured on (digital) film, but sometimes you can't whip out your camera in time and have to just enjoy the momentary laugh. So, there are a 100+ anecdotes to go with these 20ish pictures. Enjoy!

"Salad" is really hard to find, and when I did order it,
there was one singular piece of (inedible) lettuce.

Air sipping is a common phenomenon in India.. People don't touch
their lips to the cup/bottle unless necessary. We are now master. 

Two different colored eyes on this pup!

Street vendor selling just underwear...?

This mural in the Social Science building is so good its trippy

That time a never ending stream of goats stopped our bus
for a good ten minutes. This is barely 1/20th of them.

At the end of the ingredients list, it says "etc..." 

Some sort of election happening on campus. Vote
 for jug!! Or fan, or walking stick, or scissors!!! I really
wish I could explain this, but I don't get it..
still makes me laugh out loud every time
