"Culturally, it appeared to me as a fascinating melange of past, present, and future."
When I was in Mumbai in 2018, I saw a guy on a fruit wagon being pulled through traffic by a bull, while he was talking on a cell phone. Three generations of technological progress (my dad's horse-to-car transition, my home computer transition, and my kid's cell phone transition) in one moment.
India continues to amaze..it seems a place one could move to, get citizenship and then "live happily ever after.". Great reporting!
Thank you so much!

It can feel almost science-fictional to see what we think of as such different "levels" of technology coexisting.
Though in science fiction, we're not even on the scale yet.
