Restlessness of a study hour!!
My daughter declared she would not do her work unless I sat down near her thru the 45 minute work. While she was at it in those 45 minutes of having nothing else to do I captured her facial expressions. As she is not the one who would sit without moving even for a minute I knew it would be a feast for the lens. Some of the frames are a little blurred nevertheless I think they still are clear enough for the inclusion of expression.
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.

Travel to Gangaur Ghat was one of the best experiences we remember from our trip to India. Besides the spectacular views, we enjoyed the friendliness and the smiles offered by men, women and especially children. Lake Pichola in Udaipur (Rajasthan) is not only known for its Lake Palace or the scenes of the movie Octopussy, is also the place where residents come for daily ablutions or simply to cool off and wash clothes.

In India, often in the rural areas the women and even small girls are supposed to do all the household work including sweeping, washing the utensils,clothes etc,,its really depresses me to see them in such a condition..Every developed city in india has a neighboring slum unknown to the residents of the city... ..well not a good pic to upload on a new year day,but recently shot them while returning from a friends place ,so thought to upload it.

I clicked this in North Bengal, Where those little boys were diving to entertain us. Usually they do this to earn some money from tourists. This is one of my favorite photograph.

i'd often see this little lad on the Temple road, in Mc Leod Ganj. He seemed to be afflicted with cerebral palsy or some such, he would drag a leg and drool, as he is doing here, and generally appear pitifully afflicted..
However, after dark, i'd see him slipping through the shadows like a greased eel, although I could never be 100% sure it was him, perhaps i'm wrong, but i don't think so...there was too much life and mischief in those eyes for one so stricken.
The street kids of Mc Leod fascinated me with their ability to survive, their bottomless boxes of tricks for the hapless tourist really a breathtaking endeavor of ingenuity.
Ive always left Mc Leod before the snows come, but always wondered how the kids survive then. One year i mean to stay through the cold season at one of the settlements to see how I can make my self useful, and learn from these incredible folk.

It was a substantial wind storm and absolutely insane to be out with a camera. But also knowing some of the most dramatic situations often occurs only in impossible conditions, I went out on my Royal Enfield. I was not disappointed, in a no name hamlet outside of Bikaner I ran across this wedding processing where the groom is escorted to the brides home. He is obviously a very low class because for a Rajput the ideal way to meet the bride is on the back of a white stallion. (Rajastan)

Taken from Ellis Bridge looking over a tool trader's spot at the Ravivar Bazaar (Sunday Market) in Ahmedabad. The display of tools at this particular stall is about 4 times that which you can see here and is all set up for only one day a week.

Child Labour is a crime per the Indian Judicial System.
However, a certain strata of Indians lack the basis amenities to sustain themselves. The Government while punishes the employer of minor children upto 7 years of rigourous imprisonment, it does not ensure - food, clothing and shelter to these kids. Nor does it ensure education or skill to any of these children. Hence, they fall prey to crime or get exploited, taking away the joy of childhood and their innocence.
"Innocence" is a statement to wake up the Indian Judiciary and to make the Government realise the impact of thier carelessness that will shape up a future India.

It is summer time in India and the schools are closed and the school children have holidays these days so we get to see lot of them working to earn the extra money to support thier family.
This Saturday I had a chance to visit Mir-Alam Mandi which is the wholesale/retail vegetable market in Hyderabad from the times of the great Nizam rulers.
I saw a few small girls busy carrying cute loads of fresh vegetables on their young shoulders,earning that extra money by shifting some of the vegetables from the truck to the vendors place and they showed character for life...:)
It is so easy to invoke the usual argument of child work and a girl child doing labor but I guess it is about enterprise and helping out during the holidays.
In the Naya Palpur village in Madhya Pradesh's Sheopur district, children play in front of a closed Anganwadi.
Anganwadi's are conceived to provide supplementary nutrition to children in the age group of 0-6. But in most cases supplies are irregular. For this particular village the anganwadi had not received any supplies for the last three months. The mid may meal scheme for school going children was irregular when I had visited in october 2008.
According to the UNICEF, 2.1 million deaths occur every year in India of children who are under five, half of which are due to under nourishment. Thirty percent of new born in India are born with low birth weight.On October 14, 2008, the first-ever India Hunger Index was released along with the global Hunger Index by International Food Policy and Research Institute (IFPRI). It found that India ranked 66 among 88 countries in the index where Madhya Pradesh had the most severe level of hunger in the country, placing India between Ethiopia and Chad. A team from the Supreme Court of India on a stock-taking visit to Sheopur described it as the 'hunger hotspot' of the world.
The family in the picture are farmers in bazpur, UP, India.
this is a glimpse of the lives of Rural Indians.
Despite of a strong hold in the global market, a fast pace in development, and a stable economy, poverty and suffering still continues to affect the Rural side of India.
What prevails though, is the Unconditional Hospitality, Warmth,Optimism and happiness which are the very foundations Indians are raised upon.

Jaiselmer is a small city in the Thar Desert which is renowned for camel safaris. It is also worth coming here for the beautiful mansions called havelis, native style of dress, and fortress built on a small plateau overlooking the desert.
When I went to visit the Fort ,this little gal was walking on the rope while her folks were keenly watching her and were trying to attract the tourist to see the show.
