The city and its people.
Of all the things that I love photographing, people are my favourite subjects. It’s fun to capture the moods of people; people from the different strata of the society. I always wonder when I go by these pictures or when I just observe men and women in crowded buses or trains, on the streets, in the slums, in offices; what must they be thinking? How different are they from me?
I wish I could go through the huge Archives of Time.
Archives of the lives of people to know what shaped them to become what they are today...
I wish I could step into their Pensieve’s and weave a wonderful story of their thoughts and life, thing that goes unnoticed like so many things in life.
When I look at these people, I feel every life, every human is worth something. It is an injustice to judge some people according to their colour, caste and sub castes, where they live (whether in an up market town area or a down-market suburb), what their family background has been and so on.
I love the randomness of people, and their medley. I love random stories. :)

Wonderful post!
Keshi.
Wow.. beautiful set of pics there, you sure make magic with the lens ;)
Howdy doo!
Trinnie!!
No wonder I said (in my comment to you on my blog) we are so alike.. I was just thinking about this yesterday (while I was cleaning the toilets. I am always thinking when I am cleaning. lol).. not quite the same thoughts, but very similar thoughts.. people. :)
This post reminds me of the picture of the grandfather and grandson on my reflections blog. :) The pictures are lovely. I especially like the second one... with the two women, and the light and shade.. it's one of those pictures that you can keep staring at, and never get bored of, don't you think?
How long did it take you to take all these pictures? I mean, were they taken during the course of one day, or is this a collection of pictures you have had for a long time?
PS: Where did that shadow in the 'shadow' pic come from ?? :)
good pics, shitrint. really like em, specially the first one - that caption has always been my favourite. am gonna some back and look at these pics again, gotta rush now :)
I love the randomness of people, and their medley. I love random stories.
You will be thrilled to meet me then...exxactly the same way when Spielberg was thrilled to watch Dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.
Am totally random...and I get mood swings...all the time :P
I like the snaps...especially the black n white one....4th from topp
lovely pictures.. and ive always said - I LOVE PICTURES that tell a story. its a whole different type of art. its weird to say, but i love people watching..
just watching people and seeing how they act, react, how expressive we are as a kind. just a slight change in a smile or expression could mean soo many things and express soo many emotions..
and ure right -- every life is worth something =). love the pictures!!
all great shots.. in the metro shot with the woman crossing.. that shadow was an effct wasnt it?
loved the mimes and the dancers...
oieeee
hmmmm...
goes to show ki tumhare dimaag bhi kaafi zyada chalta hai..
" i am taking this opportunity to warn you , now tha you shounot read and physco books...
otherwise you will become mad like me..
:P
:P
:P
"
have a gr8 week
cheerz!!
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY Trinnie!

sunrise: :D yeah, ive felt too after reading ur posts, that we are alike at times :)
these pics have been taken over a period of about 6 months. in fact there are many, many pics like these. i had a hard time choosing which ones i should put.
the shadow has been put there courtesy Adobe Photoshop version 9! ;)
dharma: thanks bum! yeah, i love that caption too!
arz000n: thanks! why, sure id like to meet u! i hear ure making a trip down here? we are alike in the mood swing area then.. the most horrible one of mine is when im with someone and suddenly get a craving to be alone and ill be all quiet, leaving the person dumbfounded! :D
choco: people spotting! i wonder if im subject to someone's gaze when im busy watching other people! :P
aditi: yep, that shadow is an effect! and the gal in the mime is me :)
alter abhi: :D mera toh dimaag waise bhi satka hua hain! :P
thanks!
keshi: Kesh! :D i saw that piece, and i have told u im really pleasantly surprised... i love the saree too, u know...
and that dude is a professional mime artist, whereas i was just a novice. no, not even a novice. he just needed a female artist urgently, so i volunteered to act. :) was fun!
**not even a novice.
I say u look MORE than a novice there! Look at ur expressions...WELL-DONE!
Keshi.
"when im with someone and suddenly get a craving to be alone and ill be all quiet, leaving the person dumbfounded!"
... :) (me too)
keshi: thank yew!
**takes a bow**

sunrise: hehe! i must say, i derive great pleasure from solitude... i find that strange, being with my thoughts, u know and not seeking company, most of the times. well, this isn't the case always...
:)
wow..
