A traffic policeman, at one of city's busy intersections, waving vehicals on with one hand, while absently twirling a long-stemmed flower in the other. Hustle, bustle, honking horns, clouds of exhaust, and in the middle of it all the creamy perfection of the gentle bloom...
...being greeted by the attending guard at the airport security check, and being asked where I have been and how I am doing as she hadn't seen me, on her shift, in a while...
...impatient motorists, waiting for the lights to change, suddenly being pelted by twigs, leaves and fruit by a monkey swinging from the branches overhead. And seeing everyone, after the initial startlement, sharing sheepish grins...no matter what their income, status or size of vehicle, everyone one made equal by a bored monkey with a half-eaten mango in his furry little paw!
...just few snapshots that remind me of the human (or should I say simian!) face of the juggernaut that is this city! :o)
