Prisoner of Human Taste

Life (Limited)

Taste is compelling reason for humans to do things which they would otherwise would have not indulged in. People often develop taste for things and then comes a point where it becomes part of their lifestyle.

And often, taste which people develop becomes a reason for hardship and cruel sufferings for others - humans and as well as other living beings.

In Frame: A blind chicken in a cage. It is the only one left in this cage and his folk must be resting on dinner plates.

It is a very common scene across country - you can notice cages stacked with chickens waiting to be slaughtered, to be 'part' of delicious and mouth watering dishes made out of dead bodies of chicken. Often they die in cage itself due to suffocation.

Shot at near Jayadeva Hospital Flyover on road leading towards to Raagiguda Temple on 18 / Jan /2014.

Balancing Act

This is called striking balance. And this man certainly knows this. Clicked from my N72 at Thavalakuppam - Pondicherry on one summer noon of Aug-09.

God's Gate Keeper

In Frame : Rani. Do we need to say who she is ? Rani is the elephant at Manarkul Vinayagar Temple at Pondicherry (Pondy) whom one can see the entrance of the temple. She has been trained to shower blessings on devotees who offer her money and eatables especially banana. On festivals she is beautifully decorated with colorful usually red and golden yellow robes and cloth sheets and carries the idols of Lord Ganesha along with the religious processions which passes through prominent streets of Pondy notable among them is JN Sreat and MG Road. Clicked in Aug 2008 at Manarkul Temple, Pondy during my first visit to the temple.

In Frame: A bell at the entrance of an inn at Har Ki Pauri - Haridwar While on the way to 'Har To Pauri' the sound of this bell made to take a notice of it. There is a famous saying in Hindi - " shankh ghant baje kal kant dur bhage" which means sounds of conch and bell drives away bad and difficult times. The street on its way to Har ki Pauri, is full of charitable inns and this bell is on the front door of one such inn. On its face its the sign of 'OM' and very fine drawings and a chain to ring it. It has been hanged exactly in way that it occupies the centre space on the face of entrace door. This bell face the east direction and on morning sun rays really adds an alluring charm togther with the sound of its ring. This picture was taken after diwali of 2009 when I visited Haridwar with my mother.
