Food

My mother has an uncanny way of reminding me of things which invariably makes me swallow whatever thats given to me...

Winter Smoke

A common sight near the Ooty bus stand. Hot coffee in the making!

I am a Disco Dancer.... ta te tada!

For some inscrutable reason, I had this song playing in my head while I was watching our hero prepare for a pose!

The Boy at the Fair

I suppose it's one of those things that leaves you ruffled when you think about it.. I was quite surprised to see the number of children on the streets or working in restaurants, shops etc in Delhi as compared to that seen in South India. I met this boy at the fair that was running adjacent to the Ramleela. To me, it seemed almost ironic that this boy was pushing and tugging at the carousel in an effort to attract other children to his ride. The man shouting at him from a distance in the crowd made sure that the merry-go-round went round and round.. hardly ever slowing down.. The boy, in all earnestness stood still for a brief moment, before breaking into a run again when the shouting resumed. I'd like to think that he was glad to be photographed.
