Up until now, i didn't believe it was possible to have an instance of perfect chaos. One would think a lane system on roads was absolutely essential, but the fine inhabitants of the city of joy seem to get by just fine with constant tooting of horns and erratic swerving, which actually makes life on the streets highly entertaining, for both passengers of vehicles and pedestrians alike.
One thing that will never cease to amaze me about Kolkata is the ability of the locals to impossibly maximize space, one image that sticks out most vividly was seeing three Indian men and a cage of chickens wizzing 65mph done a motorway, crammed onto a tiny scooter. Second to that, this tiny internet cafe tucked away off a main road cant be any bigger than a garden shed, but the four computers and the giggling indian gentleman brushing arms beside me seems to doing perfectly well, and besides, the internet is costing me 6 NZ cents an hour, so i am far from complaining!
