Reluctantly disable the annoying alarm sound of the fifth iPhone, you take a hot shower in anticipation of a fragrant cup of cappuccino ... Somewhere at the same time in Calcutta, thousands of people wake up in his roadside box, take a shower at the nearest hydrant or a dip in the holy Ganges. In India, over 300 million homeless, is the highest rate among all countries of the world.

Indian cities fall asleep early, at nightfall close their shops all roadside traders, already at 9 pm the second street on the area opustevayut metropolis of India. I can not believe that even in the afternoon these streets looked like an anthill ... Wakes Calcutta is also very early and I advise you to wake up at 5 in the morning and go for a walk through the streets of the city, down to the banks of the Ganges, to see how the day begins in the famous flower market .
