The Things They Carry I

Driving around in Chennai you see all sorts of things. When you get out to the country they get even more odd, or maybe they're just more noticable.

On the way to work I caught site of this guy on the motorcycle on the left with his fluffy white saddlebags.


Actually he zoomed past us and Ryan my driver was hard pressed to catch up with him as the cyclist wove through traffic and I scrambled for my camera.

As he had come past I saw that they were NOT saddle bags and the sign on the right might give you a clue.



They were clutches (clucks?) of chickens bound together at the foot and slung over the seat of his motorbike.


He pulled over at the chicken store to make a delivery, and as we pulled past a couple of the chickens lifted their heads to see us go by. These are LIVE chickens!!


Unfortunately the shot of them looking at me didn't come out.
