To India and back - twice

Things have been pretty busy for me since right after Christmas. I did a lot of traveling. I went to Madras, India for New Years and spent time with my family and friends, so that was great. I returned to Dubai for a few days and was then called back to India for work.. went to Bombay, Delhi, then back to Madras before returning to Dubai. So I haven't been in Dubai all that much recently. I did get to stay at really good hotels and travel really well. Here is what we flew on.. not too shabby I think.
Of Course, it was a little bit of a downer to go from such modes of transportation to cattle class on a B777, which isn't all that bad, but still doesn't compare to sitting in the jump seat in the cockpit of a G4 during take off, or relaxing on the couch on the aircraft fully stretched out.
I also took some pictures while I was in Madras of things I've never seen anywhere else in the world.. (outside India)The Auto-Rickshaw - The Bane of any drivers existence

The 'Non-Auto' Rickshaw

Colors

Banana's and Sugar Cane's Anyone?


What about beetel nut leaves?

Can you make the pictures larger so I can see them better?
