Met these brisk children at hot noon when they were busy with fishing on far-reaching waves, but camera raised some curiosity among them and took a short break to posing with their big catch. Often their playful fishing would allow small earnings for their holyday spend. Shot from the coastline on the way to Muttam , splendid beach station, surrounded with rocky hills and coconut grooves located 38 K.M away from Kanyakumary , Tamilnadu.

I used to see him When i go for tea near to my office. Whenever i take camera with me, he will not be there. He used to sit infront of the salon. Neatly keep a cloth and he sit over that and a good suitcase also with him.. Very old man.. I am very much love him. Very harmless and watching the road all the time. Dono what he used to take food and for shelter. Dono whether he is a relative of someone near to that place. Today got a chance to get my camera and he also there in the same place. Happily i clicked. Got a shot when he kept his hand over the mouth looks like no one should talk here..

A peek into the everyday lives of the not-so-fortunate and the needy in India. Shown in this picture is a little Tea Stall in Noida, India, where Mukesh and his family sell tea and biscuits to office goers for a living.

So, we (my younger bro and I) were curious to see this new kind of traffic on the highways of Hazaribag, India and we decided to spend one morning to study them more! They are porting Coal to the local dealers who then transfer the coal to the Fire Chambers making brick (called bhatti). These guys pack their sacks late in the evening and start early at 2am from a mine near Kujju. They have to pay taxes to Naxallites about 10% of their profit. Then, they have to pay 10 Rs per bora (sack) to the local police. It's called 'Lal Salaam'. In the end, they are able to make about 300 Rs a day riding this huge load for 40km one way!

Mind you, they can ride that bicycle most of the times!
