| Above is a water delivery truck with a big five inch pipe that is covered with a 2 liter soda bottle (cut off I presume) so that the cap is what the operator uses to stop the flow of water. There was a nice one inch flow of water into the bucket when he had it open. I don't know where he was delivering the water to. Also above is a mega-market which showed up on the map of the area on my phone, but seems to have failed and be closed now. Here is what seems to be a new train station that is closed up / not in use. Right next to it is the train station that is in use. So many questions, so few answers. |

| I would say about two thirds of the three wheeled cabs in Aurangabad have two stroke motors. I guess this based on the sound of the motor so I made a video so you can hear the higher pitched ping ping sort of sound of a two stroke engine. Here is a medical lab that does M.R.I.s, C.T. scans, mammography, etc.. Below is a pile of trash waiting for municipal pickup (I hope) that is being picked through by goats. In Delhi we had seen a similar pile of trash that was being romped throough by six or so huge pigs (they seemed quite happy about being there). |

| The high in Aurangabad this time of year is about 38C or 102F. As a result the locals don't do much of anything from noon to 4PM. Our tour bus picked us up and we went to vist what is sometimes called the poor man's Taj or Bibi Ka Maqbara (or Mausoleum for my mother). It was built about ten years after the Taj Mahal, but has several differences to include: it is much smaller in size, uses stone and plaster for most of the building, only the dome being marble, it has much better quality marble, the dome is lower than the towers, the towers are octagonal, .... So is it a copy? Below is a picture of our guide, Ayaz, who told us of the differences. |
