No matter how many countries we keep on visiting, rare are the places that can manage to have the same impact on me as India does. On the same day, or even in the same hour or at the exact very minute, India will make sure you experience a rollercoaster ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/cartoon-afternoon-in-incredible-india/feed/ 4 https://bkpk.me/monsoon-season-has-arrived-in-delhi/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=monsoon-season-has-arrived-in-delhi https://bkpk.me/monsoon-season-has-arrived-in-delhi/#comments Tue, 07 Jul 2015 15:15:45 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=15783
Monsoon season has started! Today, it rained elephants and tigers here in Delhi. And what joy the rain has brought with it! While in other parts of the world (like where I come from) we might associate the rain with winter and cold weather, in India it is not like ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/monsoon-season-has-arrived-in-delhi/feed/ 3 https://bkpk.me/in-new-delhi-business-on-wheels/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=in-new-delhi-business-on-wheels https://bkpk.me/in-new-delhi-business-on-wheels/#comments Sun, 21 Sep 2014 09:47:15 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=13702
If you have seen my previous photo tribute to street entrepreneurs in Delhi, you’d know by now that I am a big fan of those creative minds making the streets of India their daily spot for business.

Welcome to Hauz Khas Village, the New Delhi equivalent of Williamsburg in New York, Kreuzberg in Berlin or East London in the UK. Well, not exactly… but Hauz Khas is certainly on its way to become a hipster hot spot. You get the idea.

After a 6 week interlude in Lisboa, we’re back in India! It’s funny how frequent mobility has made us used to all sorts of cities and daily routines. When we reached Portugal, I felt the streets were rather empty… where was everyone? I wondered… Lisbon was not different as such, ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/india-its-electrifying/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/11442/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=11442 https://bkpk.me/11442/#comments Tue, 04 Feb 2014 17:45:19 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=11442
Selling vegetables at the market in India seems to be a tough job. No wonder this fellow in today’s photo decided to take a nap while his colleague would do all the work at a subji stall in Sarojni Market, New Delhi. Markets in India tend to be as busy ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/11442/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/the-school-of-life/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-school-of-life https://bkpk.me/the-school-of-life/#comments Sat, 24 Aug 2013 18:36:08 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=9341
A couple of days ago we were in Delhi, walking the dog near the building where Ashray’s Mom lives. As the dog approached a little bushy area near some trash, a massive rat jumped out and then I jumped even higher! I freaked out and cursed the monsoons when rats, ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/the-school-of-life/feed/ 12 https://bkpk.me/we-were-on-our-way-to-the-post-office-when/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=we-were-on-our-way-to-the-post-office-when https://bkpk.me/we-were-on-our-way-to-the-post-office-when/#comments Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:04:05 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=8769
Oh, Incredible India, you never cease to amaze me! We were on our way to the post-office in Delhi when all of a sudden our car had to brake. No, it was not the usual traffic, where cars, bikes, cycles, autos, rickshaws, cows and pedestrians clog the streets.

We were driving around Delhi yesterday when I saw a man walking with a colorful structure covered in shiny cloth. I immediately took the phone to click his picture, what made him approach our car.

It’s New Delhi, the mercury’s hit 45 (113 for our American friends) and there are no customers because no one wants to venture outside. He looks left, he looks right and decides that this is his opportunity.

If you’ve read about our families meeting, our friends arriving to India and our alternative bachelor(ette) party, now it’s the time to give you an inside on our actual wedding day!

This might look like a regular family portrait, but for me, it’s much more than that. Not only this wedding photo represents the union between two people who love each other (I guess that’s what all wedding photos do), it also shows how by mixing and matching we make the world ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/family/feed/ 3 https://bkpk.me/the-wedding-series-2-the-bachelorette-party/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-wedding-series-2-the-bachelorette-party https://bkpk.me/the-wedding-series-2-the-bachelorette-party/#comments Wed, 24 Apr 2013 14:51:56 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=7371
We like to think we are not a conventional couple. So having a “typical” bachelor/ette party with strippers, genital shaped cakes and drinks galore was not the thing for us.

That Indian weddings are a huge event, that we all know. I mean, I thought I knew until I started experiencing it by myself.. because one thing is being a guest, and another very different matter is to be the star of the show!

India amazes me every single day. In the good, the bad, the funny, the colorful, the smelly, the ugly, the humbling, the tasty, the smiley, the spicy, the bitter… and even when it comes to something as mundane as electricity!
