Touring Bangalore at 2 miles an hour

  
I've been told that oxcarts have been officially banned from central Bangalore, but hey, no one follows any traffic laws in Bangalore, so why should these guys. And I kind of like it when we run into one. They seem so improbably silly. Why would you put the load so high? Why make the load-cart so small? I can understand the reason for big wheels but you can make the load lower and larger for easier loading/unloading. I guess it's all a moot point now, as no one will be building any more of these carts.
