The Other Side of the Road

I figured you might want to see what the other side of the road looked like as well. 

The Westin was in the MindSpace compound with other businesses like Qualcomm and Accenture. 

The road across the pavement was THE most terrible road we drove the entire time.  The potholes on this 50 foot stretch of road barely hold a candle to the potholes around Cincinnati after the multiple snow storms during my trip to India.

I believe I've shared a similar picture before but I passed this structure everyday on my way to work.

More sunshine and sad trees.

I wasn't trying to get a picture of the bus, I was actually trying to get the building behind it that was covered in greenery.  It almost had some sort of outer structure that helped the plants grow around the building.  There was a wall similar to this in the airport too.  Wish I could have taken a picture there but I didn't want to alarm the guards.

I don't remember what I was trying to capture here but the tower on the left is pretty neat.  I can only imagine what it may have been used for.

There were some modern homes along the way.

Countless half built buildings.

I saw a few people carrying items on their head.  She was the only one I was fast enough to get a picture of.

Normally the "Street Dogs" stayed in small packs of 2 or 3.  This was the largest number of dogs I saw together.  They had more respect for the streets and the traffic patterns than most of the humans.  At night they would sleep in the middle of the road and thankfully were avoided by traffic, for the most part.

This is one of my favorite pictures and I wish I could have gotten a better angle.  2 men on a motorcycle carrying a bamboo ladder.  Amazing.

One day I saw men panting the blue fences but I liked this tractor too.

Advertisements were anywhere that had empty space on the side of the road, even boulders.

Tony's favorite.  I was later corrected that they call these Auto Rickshaws in India and Tuk Tuk's in Pakistan.  Geographically, they are close enough for me. 

An Indian Food Court.

Oddly enough I saw many women moving heavy objects in and out of buildings under construction.

These guys were crossing the road into the office parking lot.  The street vendors here were quite lively when I left the office at 2 in the morning with 10-20 people hanging out in front of the store partaking in whatever shenanigans occur at 2 in the morning...
