Here are just a couple of reasons why you don’t want to ever run on the sidewalks of Bangalore. Especially not after dark.

“Oh. I’m approaching a curb down for a drive. These curbs are a bit tall, better watch the step down. Also look out for cars. Are they coming from the left? Right?”

And then you fall into a pit!  (Which you can’t see until the last second)

Or if you’re lucky, you just trip over some bricks.
