early morning traffic
Early morning traffic.  Note the quantity of auto rickshaws, the license plates of which all seemed to begin, ominously, with KA⋅05 (in some goofy handpainted font so it would look like KAOS).

long pods on a tree
Long pods on a tree next to the hotel.

short pods on a tree
Short pods on a tree on the opposite side of the hotel from the previous tree.

orange blossoms on tree
These trees were all over Bangalore.  Unfortunately, i couldn't get a better picture.

karnataka high court
The Karnataka High Court building.  Bangalore is the capital of the state of Karnataka (kar-NA-ta-ka).

The High Court, again, plus tourists.

big tree
This tree on the side of the High Court building was huge.  Unfortunately, foliage blocked the trunk.

gowda, my driver, and his car
Gowda and his faithful iron steed.  Gowda knew exactly how long and wide his car was, and he used this knowledge to a margin of error that would make most Americans wet their pants.  On Wednesday, he took me out to do a little sightseeing, during which i saw many of the things above and also purchased my wife's sari.

Rone, it sounds as if you went from happy to disgruntled. I am glad you are home again and less irritated by all the airport chaos. Do you have to travel again soon or was this a one time adventure? Moms sari is pretty, good taste!

Max: "That autorickshaw missed me by *that* much. Did you get the license plate number, 99?"

99: "I know for a fact it started with KAOS!"
