Cheers Lounge
Went to shoot a lounge in their opening week, all i could see around was drunk people ( super cheap booze). Came back with this image for TimeOut Mumbai.
The boy who kept running....
This image is shot at Banganga, which is a place in the Malabar Hill area of Mumbai City. It is believed that in mythical times the great Lord Rama, an incarnation of God Vishnu, shot an arrow in the ground to provide for fresh water for drinking. The place where the arrow hit the ground there issued out a stream of fresh and sweet water from a tributary of the Ganga, over a thousand miles away. Hence the place is known as Banganga

The bare backs
The oldest South-Indian temple in Chembur, built in 1968 is the Ahobila Mutt Temple. It is the only temple of it kind in Mumbai, which has as its main idol Narsmiha, an avatar of Vishnu. During festivals such as Narsmiha Jayanthi, the temples idols are paraded every evening on chariots pulled by male devotees. Carnatic saxophones accompany the procession. The procession which unfolds over a period of 12 days draws crows of up to a couple of hundred.
Young kids accompany the lord on it and distribute Prasad.
Teenagers pull the procession cart on which the idol of Lord Narsmiha is mounted. Covering a 5 k.m. path can be strenuous, it shows.

Rajasthan Pushkar
The Pushkar Fair, or Pushkar ka Mela, is the world's largest camel fair held in the holy town of Pushkar in the state of Rajasthan, India. Competitions such as the "matka phod", "moustache", and "bridal competition" are the main draws for this fair which attracts thousands of tourists.
This image is shot at 6pm on the outskirts of the cattle grounds, just as the sun was setting on the Pushkar Mela. Pushkar Mela is considered to be the largest gathering of Cattle in the world where farmers come to trade them.

Traffic Cop
This Traffic Policeman controls almost 10,000 vehicles everyday at Mahim Causeway in Mumbai.
With 200 cars being registered everyday, traffic congestion in Mumbai is hitting an all time high. As compared to Delhi (Indian Capital) which has 40,000 k.m of roadways, Mumbai has only 19,000. Yet it has the traffic population of Pune, Lucknow and Delhi put together!

Follow the Eyes
One must respect Black.
Nothing prostitutes it.
It does not please the eye or awaken another sense.
It is the agent of the minds even more than the beautiful color of the palette.
