Morning at Majestic

By ⋅ July 18, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment


Some­one caught in the reflec­tion of a mirror

A cou­ple of week­ends ago, one early and not so bright morn­ing Lavan­nya, Sabir, Vasu, Anu and I packed our pho­tog­ra­phy equip­ment and went to the Majes­tic bus sta­tion, City Mar­ket and Tipu Sultan’s Palace.

We roamed around the busy bus sta­tion, the crowded Sun­day bazaar (where you can buy almost every­thing!). Piles and piles of what seems like junk every­where. At least that’s what it looks like. On closer inspec­tion, it turned out to be use­ful stuff like nuts, bolts, screw dri­vers, mir­rors, old cam­eras and stuff you wouldn’t see any­where else. Vasu even picked up some Tamil movie cas­settes at a bar­gain price!

We then went to Tipu Sultan’s Palace (my first visit). It’s quite a grand name for a small­ish struc­ture, but inter­est­ing, never the less. I was more fas­ci­nated by the tem­ple in the Palace compounds.

Some pic­tures from that morn­ing in this Mar­ket Scenes album.

  2. India holds an amaz­ing vari­ety for pho­tog­ra­phers. Reminds me of some­one who told me some­time back that when she was in India she could hardly think of what pho­tos to take. I guess she had become so immune to the most pic­turesque scenes.

  9. Hi Anita .. sorry for send­ing this note here but i couldnt locate your email id any­where — i’m off to BlogHer next week and in prepa­ra­tion for that i have been talk­ing to sev­eral women blog­gers about how blog­ging has affected their lives — i’d love to have your views too on this, given that you’re one of the ear­li­est adopters — would you drop me a line, and i’ll tell you more about it then. Many thanks.
