Delhi car alarm

...Well probably not, as the dog was chewing the end of the aerial when I first saw it & was scrambling to get my camera out.

 

There are thousands of dogs wandering the streets.... they never seem to bother folk, and seem to live off the scraps, sewage & garbage discarded on the streets.

 

India has a phenomenally successful recycling strategy.... Everything gets dumped on the street approximately in the same region and then the paper man, the plastics man & the metal man will come and root through it to get the appropriate material. They then take this to a recycling centre and sell it for a few paise / rupees. The organic matter is taken care of by the cows, goats and dogs that wander the street. Anything left is usually burned.
