Chandni Chowk 3

Let's try that again, Jama Masjid:

On the way back from Chandni Chowk. We passed a man on the side of the road shouting into a microphone and having his chants repeated back to him. I asked the rickshaw-wala who it was and he said enough that I understood it was some political protest. When, I asked if it was someone who didn't like the government, he smiled and nodded.  I almost got a great shot of another man on the other side of the street screaming into a mircrophone, amid a crowd of listeners, standing in front of an effige of someone. mmm that's good politics.

One last image. This cluster of electrical wires is all to common here, and while reading the newspaper on the train, I read an article about a crack down on people tapping into power lines and stealing juice.  Evidently they cut hundreds of unauthorized taps. Pretty amazing.
