beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
sir sir! madam madam!
you want rickshaw? where you go? taj mahal? fort? bazaar?
buy my snow globe! buy some postcards! buy some jewelry!
hundred rupees! fifty rupees! twenty rupees! name your price!
one man peeing two men peeing three men peeing four
five men peeing six men peeing, all over the floor
women smiling children shouting men staring
where you from? you are friends? you are married? why no baby?
no coffee no beer chai chai chai
pink yellow green blue purple spangly saris
dog shit cow shit human shit
rickshaw man: yes?
NO.
finally, dal makhani.
thank you god.
