"This is my land"

This is my land...är något jag har hört sägas många ggr. Speciellt av chafförer och andra pratsamma indier som inte behärskar engelskan till fullo och försöker göra sig förstådda med de få ord dem kan. I samband när dem säger det brukar de peka på nåt... kan vara en ko, ett hus, en rondell, ett fält, en person på gatan, en affär. Ja, en gång pekade en man mot en soptipp samtidigt som han sa: -"This is my land"

Varpå vi svarar, ahaaa, nice... your land...samtidigt som vi blir superförvirrade vad det egentligen är vad han vill ha sagt. Är det hans land han vill visa upp-- är det med stolthet eller ironi han säger det. Är det något han vill visa att han äger? Hursomhelt tycker jag det är så gulligt när jag hör någon säga det. This is my land...

This is my land, but not my bike.


This is my husband and my door (the indian way of expressing things)


This is my guard (one of them) Once he said the same - This is my land *I'm superconfused what are these guys really meaning*


This is my roof


This is my neighbor's house. 
In the street of B9
Dusty land it is


Gurgaon (my land) is kind of wellknown for having the most terrible roads in India. This is pretty good one, pretty perfect one. I love this road.


"This is my land"


Gurgaon is a city under development. Brand new houses can be seen everywhere. Construction of this one just had started.  
Typical house gate but where is the guard?


In Delhi most of cows have moved out. 
(i've heard it was after the Commonwealth games took place last year)
In Gurgaon we are happy to still have them. It's so cosy hear them make noises outside your window in the morning. This one likes to stand outside "my land".


Cow's wearing a candy necklace, isn't he cute.


You never know when and where they will show up. Most of them are friendly and you can walk along with them on the sidewalk. As well as you can put necklaces around their heads. I hate though when they come running against you when dark.


I also hate when these small pets press the horn just behind ones back which happens often.


I don't use to meet the horns with a smile like this.
I see this girl often during my walks. I wonder where she's living.


A pink cap I bought once which now more or less belongs to Jesper. 





Walking in "my land" looking out for ants.





Someone very concentrated. Maybe because he had open shoes that day.
When where Converse you don't need to worry bout nothing.


Work goes on.....
A green house. Even the brickwalls are painted with greens. This family must be totally in love with green.
