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 . It was not so hot, the air still preserves transparency and absorbed daily smog, the rhythm of life has not swung, although the ringing sound of horns rickshaws already accustomed to stun you from all sides.
Morning in Calcutta ... walk ?!
1.
In Calcutta lives of 15 million people, are hot and humid. Early morning - the only way to see the city almost without people:
2.
3.
4.
The first trams carry their few passengers ...
Tram in India appeared in 1902 and Calcutta - the only city in the country where the trams are still preserved. Now here 29 tram routes and rolling stock for over 60 years.
5.
6.
Teeth cleaned so that's right on the street:
7.
8.
9.
Fire hydrant also serves morning shower:

11.
A 57th bus goes to the famous bridge Howrah, which you can see on the cover photo, I'll show it separately. Except to say that it absolutely can not be photographed. Why? I have no idea, but the police this is followed on the bridge.
12.
Girls come for drinking (?) Water, which is drawn into the canister:
13.
14.
But Indian and Starbucks. Masala tea for a few rupees.
15.
Until now, plastic disposable cup in India - it is a luxury, so use cheap and disposable clay stkanchiki too. Here's a picture with the mountains of broken clay cups outside vendors masala tea is ubiquitous:
16.
It is necessary to raise your head up and we meet with advertising the good life (and the guy in shorts with a glass bladimerri), which has nothing to do with the reality that surrounds us:
17.
On the street shear:
18.
and shave:

Rickshaw driver waits soego client Flower Market:

21.
A taxi in India - Hindus Ambassador legendary cars! This is definitely a topic for another story.
22.
23.
It will still be one hour and will be a very different city, filled with the roar of cars and endless car horns signals. But it will be a different Calcutta and another story.
India is Great!
India - a fascinating country, incredible contrast! Ideal for immersion in the atmosphere of independent travel. Once it for me was the first from distant lands, I fell in love with and finally bezpovorotno.

Common carriage train Indian ...
Criticize Railways ?! Welcome to common carriage Indian train! To visit India and do not ride on the train and, in particular, the general car - so skip the incredibly interesting experience, both in terms of communication and visual images, and the ability to fully upload your sense of smell, the feeling, the sense of touch!
Having been the first time in India, the 2007m, I porobovat sleepers "without" and "with" air conditioning (Sleeper AC & non-AC), and on this trip has finally made it to General Class overnight train. This is incredibly cool! A stations ... That's where you'll see a small provincial town station late at night as not in India ?!
1. In fact, nothing special, in fact probably all went to the general car naschih trains ... the only difference is that in India, you will find an open and friendly fellow travelers. Some of the independent traveler misses the common carriage accident, not ozabotivsya ticket in advance, and in India every day on trains traveling tens of thousands of people and the fact that tickets sleeper classes not - this is a common practice.
Judging from the movies and from what I saw, too, are common cars filled differently, it also happens that passengers hanging out the door. So I can say lucky, on the car could move relatively quiet, although all the seats, the upper shelves, lobbies and toilets ... (!) Were employed.
But it all starts with the purchase of tickets. I will write a separate article about trains in India, today show photos:
2. 
3. Wagon "second-class", also known as "general class" write wagons and so and so. On the train, hot, instead of windows lattice under the ceiling fans broken. During the drive through the forest belt in the car fly all sorts of tropical butterflies and dragonflies, which is also fast and blown by the wind.
4. 
5. Arriving at the gate 40 minutes before departure, my friends and I have not been able to sit in one car, so went to a neighbor. As it turned out, we were lucky that we all sat.
6. 
7. 
8. 
9. Dim artificial light, high ISO, white balance is horrendous ... but to do a series of black-and-white deliberately did not, after all, India - is, above all, COLOR!
10. In the vestibule guys dine. I have great difficulty could not refuse the offer to sit down. Almost every companion friendly, trying to speak, something to show, something to entertain me ... Even paint smeared on the train on the eve of Holi celebrations. Unfortunately, with knowledge of English was only a few people in the car.
11. 
12. 
13. 
14. The guy is not top shelf took too much on the occasion of Holi and always strove to fall down:
15. 
16. 
17. 
18. On the bottom shelf sits an average of 5-6 Indians, although the regiment in size is the same as in our reserved seat (3 seats). On the floor, someone goes to bed, and so almost every "coupe":

24. Station - is another story. Here sleeps a huge number of people, there are times that you just need to step over sleeping bodies to move forward:
25. 
26. The office of the conductor:
27. 
28. What did you see in the pictures ?!
Insanitary conditions, dirt, felt bad smell ?!
Most likely you will find yourself right, I saw a piece of real India, met pleasant companions and have even sent pictures of your fellow travelers. Reject stereotypes and complexes, try to feel the country from different angles.
