Aircraft boarding staircase or Airstair with people boarding

These are pictures of an Aircraft Boarding Staircase. The term airstairs is also used although strictly speaking an airstair is a smaller airplane passenger staircase built in to an airliner. Airstairs are however not usually present on larger airliners and the Aircraft Boarding Staircases is pictured below.

This is a passenger aircraft with an aircraft boarding staircase attached to it. Passengers and travellers are moving towards the staircase.


This is a closer view of the aeroplane boarding staircase. Passengers are entering the covered staircase which looks like tunnel. In the background is the airport and palm trees.

This is a view of the inside of the plane boarding staircase. Passengers are climbing the stairs leading directly into the plane. This staircase is not open unlike many others so as to protect the passengers from rainfall.

Colorful synthetic drinks sold on the streets of India

These are photographs of the common man's Coca-Cola, Fanta and Sprite. Colored sherbet made out of sugar syrup and chemical colours and flavours many of which are banned. These drinks are inexpensive, sold openly on the streets, and it is mostly the poor who buy them. Lemons are used to add taste.

A boy is behind the wheels of this cart selling synthetic drinks. When asked he tells me that it is nothing but sugar syrup and colors and flavours. A dash of lemon adds taste.

Synthetic chemical drinks


The same boy posing for a picture. Not the colourful decoration of the hand-cart. It attracts customers, particularly children.

These people appear as if they are in the middle of nowhere, but actually they are in a holiday spot called Matheran. Here the drinks sellers cater to a slightly well-off crowd, and people who don't mind spending while on a holiday. This one makes a masala mix of various bottled cold drinks like Sprite and Coke. Colors and favors are used in the masala too at times and so is lemon. Basically these drinks are a concoction of the various bottled drinks and some local flavours. Masala Thums Up is popular and so is Kala Khatta soda. Kala Khatta or Chuski is made from Jamun, a small purple fruit.

Mumbai Ahmedabad Highway scenes

The Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway is part of National Highway No. 8 in India. It is part of the Golden Quadrilateral project and the highway is wide and well-made road. However it is accident-prone. 

These are some shots of the scenic road and the pretty country-side along the way from Mumbai to Ahmedabad.

Photos of frying in hot oil

Photographs of the process of frying in hot oil in a small kadhai or girdle.
Something is being fried in the hot oil (placed in a kadhai or frying pan on a stove) and the hot oil is smoking. This is not healthy as smoking oil releases toxins.The oil is too hot.
