Some scenes from the Streets of Chennai: The ladies often wear this dress called a Sari (pronounced sahree). When they do, they have to ride side saddle on scooters and motorcycles. That little yellow car is a three wheel taxi type thing, and they are everywhere. The streets are a seeming land of lawlessness, packed with pedestrians, bicycles, scooters, motorcycles and cars, where right of way is granted to the bold, and 1/2 of a centimeter is deemed plenty of space when passing other vehicles- even when they are coming right at you. If playing chicken was an Olympic sport, India would dominate.
