August 21st, 2004  |  Published in Photography  |  24 Comments

Ear­lier in the week, I had writ­ten about vis­it­ing Yesh­vant­pur mar­ket and a school on Inde­pen­dence Day. Here are a few snapshots…

    Luv, I kinda liked the half open (half shut) look. Kind of seduc­tive na?! Haha. Totally loved the bindi though. :)

    Hi Anita,

    Great pic­tures though I think the 4th one is degrad­ing and against “The Pre­ven­tion Of Insults To National Hon­our Act, 1971″ as the Indian flag is being dis­played with the saf­fron part down. (http://mha.nic.in/nationalflag2002.htm) I’m sure not many are aware of this code. :)

    May I sug­gest to take off the penul­ti­mate one :)

    The veg­gie ven­dor is — ofcourse a neat shot :)

    Kraz: please write to me at anitabora5 at red­iff­mail dot com

    Thank Mehak…

    Prads: It’s def­i­nitely not a nice sight. And there­fore the title of the picture.

    Arun: Why remove it? I’ve only recorded what I saw. I know it’s not a pretty pic­ture. And that’s just the point. Every­thing you see around you isn’t na? We can’t remove the unpleas­ant side out of life just because it doesn’t look good. so it stays for now.

  8. Danto says:

    The Prads guy is right. Just remove that pic with the flag upside down, silly.

  9. Prads says:

    August 22nd, 2004 at 8:45 pm (#)

    I think the title of the pic­ture is jus­ti­fied. It’s indeed ironic but I’m sure (or would take it as) the guy didn’t know he was dis­re­spect­ing the national flag. Well, it’s your jour­nal and I’m noone to ask you for remov­ing it but I think it’s kind of a con­trast to the whole expe­ri­ence and also leaves a bad taste at the end.

    Absolutely fab pics! You tend to for­get how colour­ful that coun­try really is.

  11. Anita says:

    August 23rd, 2004 at 9:57 am (#)

    Danto: I think it will stay on for now!

    Prads: It is def­i­nitely not a pretty sight. And I think that is what our coun­try is all about — it is a bun­dle of con­tra­dic­tions. But I don’t see why we have to shy away from the ugly side. It’s exists and I don’t think we can ignore it in a coun­try like ours. We see scenes and sights like this every­day and worse, every­where and every­day and we can’t exactly move around with our eyes closed…

    Thanks Kunal.

    craps casino

    There are sev­eral the­o­ries on the his­tory of Craps. One take is that in ancient times rolling of bones was done to divine the will of the gods, and that from this evolved both dice and var­i­ous dice games (includ­ing Craps). Another take has the game evolv­ing from an early Arab game passed through Eng­land, France and North America.
