With cameras we shot
Things ‘cool’ and hot
And stories we got
Of what was but is not…
Pasha’s chai
‘Lock’ed with paan
Mosque view
Ulsoor Market
Timekeepers for generations
Smile please…
Pandian, Ijaz and friend
Glow of steel!
How’s my future?
Clothes ahoy!
A centurion
Bankers of yore
Pure caffeine
Welcome home:)
Oct-3 to Oct-9: Bazaar Street, Halasuru Market
Carts moving and stopping
Cycles ringing and pedalling
Stalls on wooden boxes
Shops under metal roofs
Pasha the tea maker
Mary the fruit vendor
Pandian the sundal seller
Abdul the fishmonger
Temples, churches, mosques
Standing for centuries
Hawkers and merchants
Trading for decades
Stationery, sweets, steel
Cosmetics, clothes, coffee
Fishmongers and tailors
Bankers and jewellers
A provision store
Ek chaat ki dukaan
A locksmith, ek paanwallah
Oru poosari, ek raddiwalah
With warm words
And sweet smiles
They touched us
The old beside the new
Poets and artists too
The young with the elderly
The healthy and the sickly
And many more
Sights, sounds and smells
Of today and before…
