Kep - far from the madding crowd
People visit Cambodia to see the temples of Angkor Wat in Siem Reap...some of them venture into the capital Phnom Penh. But Kep, a small sea side resort close to the border with Vietnam, is not on many tourist maps (other than of course the residents of Cambodia). So an obvious advantage - you can enjoy the natural beauty of Kep without the crowds.
Once a popular beach town, Kep went through difficult times during the reign of the Khmer Rouge. It still bears the scars of that time - abandoned villas...and an unfinished king's palace.

It's sweeping sidewalks though, are a reminder of it's former grandness; the benches dotting the sidewalks a great place to admire the magnificent vistas...before you head off to the local seafood joint for your fix of delicious crabs, squids...and lots more.

Morning has broken...
Delhi, India
At 8 am on a winter morning in February 2013, the hustle & bustle of Chandni Chowk is some hours away...
...it's a busy time for the local tea shops though...

More than just friends...or food.
The "Friends" restaurant in Phnom Penh, Cambodia is run by an NGO and staffed by street children training to be a part of the hospitality industry. It's not just the tapas that make this place special, and kind of famous...

Nothing to laugh about....
Some weeks ago, I was literally accosted by scores of young girls - out at Humayun's tomb on a school trip...they all wanted to pose in front of my camera. But one girl didn't seem to share the carefree exuberance of her school mates...and I wondered what it was, that made her sad.

Egyptian surprise
Think of Egypt and what comes to mind...the Nile and famous ancient structures - the pyramids, the sphinx, the massive Rameses statues, the valley of kings & queens and such like. Less well known is the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (in the Egyptian port city of Alexandria) - one of the most interesting modern structures I have ever come across.
The picture below is one teeny weeny part of the massive structure...scroll down for other views.

Yes you can, no you can't
With Id ul Zuha being celebrated yesterday, this post on an experience around Id ul Fitr some months back is a little late...anyway, here goes...
At the Nizamuddin Auliya dargah, New Delhi, India, August 2012
As expected, it was a massive crush of people on the last Thursday evening before Id-ul-fitr. While the crowds made it difficult to wield the camera for more than a split second at a time, the people in these very crowds provided interesting studies in contrast.
The two photographs below represent the two reactions to my attempts to capture the goings on...there were people who objected to photographs being taken, and others who actively encouraged it. (caught between these two extremes, I got the maulvi to say "aye" before proceeding!)
With the devout having fasted during the day, the approaching dusk was a sign of food around the corner... Amongst children, there was a palpable sense of excitement: seats were bagged on the ground and plates lined up in front, long before the food was scheduled to arrive.

This boy turned around as if on cue, but with a not too happy expression on his face. WHY - he seemed to ask...
The two kids below fought with each other to get into the frame - the young boy protesting vehemently at being upped by the (elder) girl, who thrust herself into the foreground. They were happy posing in front of the camera...food, perhaps, temporarily forgotten.
