India Photo Gallery Common Sights Below are some fairly typical images of everyday life in India. Certainly one of the most striking first, middle, and last impressions one has of India is the traffic. The standard car, truck and bus traffic is everywhere in India. That still doesn't exhaust the list.
Signs cautioning drivers to keep to their own lane are apparently only suggestions.
Despite the sheer chaos of Indian traffic, I saw very few accidents and almost no road-kill. In fact, the first accident I saw was when a man on a bicycle turned back to stare at our car and rode into a cow. He hit the pavement but, other than a leg that was almost certainly blue in the morning, he was not seriously injured. The cow was unfazed. My love for animals was a blessing in India to the extent that they are, in a variety of forms, everywhere.
