Not even close to Qatar - the duty free here means: One shop, cheap stuff. Actually expensive for India, but well, it depends on where you come from...

"Misshandled baggage" |
My first impression of India - people! |

Sounds like the baggage was raped or something... wurgs. Cochin airport.

Just imagine coming out of an airport, you just past the immigration control and got your luggage - and find yourself outside, a billion people staring at you, it's night but 35degree and the air is so heavy that it is difficult to breath for the first moment... I just stood there for a few seconds, breathless, amazed, stared at. I could not even take a picture... I just regained my senses when I somehow managed to get through the crowd... and that's this picture :D

The Keralan Communist Party (CPI) - which is actually the ruling party for several years - held a political rally at Thiruvananthapuram (former Trivandrum) in Kerala, India. It was nearly over and I got this nice picture of the security forces around... there were loads of them... The blue in the background is one of the great Indian busses
