I don’t know if the smartphone-toting Indian of the shopping malls still frequents festival melas. As for me, I can’t help but feel drawn to these vibrant mass gatherings during festivals.
Here, a spinning wheel juts out of a busy crossing in west Delhi. I spent a lot of time shooting it and finally settled on this image:
I am an ardent fan of jalebis and there’s hardly a month in my office that goes by without us feasting on them. I was tempted to grab these freshly cooked jalebis, but then I was in no mood to nurse a case of Delhi belly.
Considering Dussehra is next week, it wasn’t a surprise that the crowd at this maidan was thin. Ticket collectors were sitting idle and so was a hawker.
But just when I was looking to capture something interesting, a hijra jumped into my frame. And, she was more than happy to be photographed.
