Travelling around India in 2017/2018 – Varanesi and Delhi
My first, and only, snake-charmer. I gave some coins (given to me by my guide) to the snake-charmer. He was so disgusted by the paltry amount that he put the lid on the snake basket!
There is a strange custom to feed birds whilst in the boat. You see birds regularly surrounding boats, waiting to be fed or being fed.

Sarojini Nagar market. A man insisted on selling me a leather wallet whilst I was waiting for Helene. He was not put off no matter what I said. Instead he kept lowering the price. In the end I offered 10 rupees (a few pence) and he walked away disgusted with the offer! If I only I had learnt the trick earlier!
Just about captures India: autorickshaws and chai wallah
Remember not to spit on the Delhi metro 😉
