Go on

In spite of all the follies, go on. We create the follies. The road is always open...

Emerging

This is a gate that neighbours the Rurban gate that I showed in the last photo.  This belongs to a private owner.  The land behind this gate may soon become 'Rurban' - the religious cult has been buying up all the land in the neighbourhood!

Rurban

Rurban is my portmanteau word for rural-urban. This is a scene from the outskirts of Delhi.  The gate you see is one of the many numbered gates of a religious cult that occupies kilometres of land just on the outskirts of Delhi.  What do they do with all that land?  Nothing but use it as parking space for the vehicles that come tri-annually carrying pilgrims!  That's one aspect of Rurban.

Slow hurry

We are all in a hurry (except me, the small girl who smiles). We are in slow moving vehicle unlike those cars parked beyond because cars have bored us.  But we are in a hurry. We are tourists, you see.

Leader

The dog is indeed a faithful animal.  This dog was leading the way.  Is the dog a leader too? No, if you look at the human leaders.  The human leaders bark a lot.  They also lead from the front.  But not the way this dog was doing.  It was clearing the way for the cart.  Clearing the way for the follower - that's what leadership is about.  A leader should be a dog.  Faithful.
