Locked out
One of the advantages of an early morning visit to Old Delhi, is that against the backdrop of the colourful shutters of the many closed shops, the locks themselves make for interesting visuals. Below are some from a few weeks back.
Of course, Old Delhi is not the only place which makes for interesting lock visuals....this set of photographs is from across the world - Alexandria (Egypt) to Bangalore, Gwalior to California.

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.

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.
