A great discovery: Velowala.org! This site is an art project documenting the “velowalas” of Delhi, India, who sell a variety of items off of bicycles (and trikes, and carts with bike wheels).
I just spent an extraordinarily pleasant half hour perusing the site’s images, sounds, and thoughts. (It was not immediately intuitive to me–the See! Hear! headers on the home page are links to the best Velowala.org site content).
I miss India! It’s almost four years since I was there last, and I’m ready to go back! These images take me right back into the immersive sight-sound-smell-taste-sweat-exhaust-grime-spice-traffic-jetlag experience of that rich and vibrant subcontinent.
I’m off for the weekend, no connectivity, no work, no bike, just a cabin in the woods with family. No freak bike post this Friday. Have a wonder-filled weekend.
Velowala.org found via the always awesome Street Use.
