Below is an interesting article that my dad sent me regarding one of the hot, new professions on the rise over here in India. Well not new, but certainly on the rise. I have to admit that in the last 3 weeks that I have been here I have yet to see a rat and I hope that tradition continues on for a long time to come!
India's Rat Catchers
Below are some pictures from my trip to Mumbai on Saturday. I had no idea that this part of India was so hilly and mountainous. It is a beautiful part of the country. It is unbelievable but the highway between the outskirts of Mumbai and Pune is the only one in the entire country!
There are no exits on or off, a single CLEANish rest stop (where I just happened to run into Andrew Estes who was in town for the SC conference and on his way to the Mumbai port) and no police patrol.
As I mentioned, the lack of reststops is an issue, an issue that Raj decided he couldn't deal with so we stopped along the road in some village for him to attend to nature;-)
A nice view of some of the mountain terrain.
Another shot of some of the mountains along the way to Mumbai.
