I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.

The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.

भरोसा है खुदी पर, नाखुदा की इल्तिजा कैसी,
मेरी कश्ती ही साहिल है, मेरी कश्ती में साहिल है।

मुजमे एक आवाझ है ऐसि,
सांसे बेखबर, खबर रुह (soul) को जिस्की |भीद मे इस तन्हाइ के सबब (reason) क्या है?
बूंदो कि इस प्यास के अतित (history) क्या है?
अतुट है जब पर्छाइ (shadow) तो रात के अंदाझ क्या है?
झिंदगि है जुआ (gambling) तो हार के मलाल (regret) क्या है?
– Hitesh Patel
Posting photos for the weekly photo challenge theme Happy. I know its little late but better late than never.
For last couple of weekends I have been travelling around Lonavala (near Mumbai) and western ghats region for personal work. I have always loved road journeys and never miss out on enjoying any road trip. The climate in the areas which I just mentioned around this time is absolutely beautiful as the monsoon is preparing to shut the shop for the season. The drive in the monsoon around these areas is absolute delight for person like me. The natural beauty and local people you meet around here will fill your heart with joy.
Posting some of the clicks from last couple of weeks travelling.
P.S. Barring couple of photographs, all are taken from my cell phone camera.
Sometimes that one thought, that one lost moment turned into memory, that one fading image in the mind, that one last wish, that one unanswered question can make your evenings lonely like this moon.
For this week’s photo challenge, I am posting some of the picture from street photography and photo walks from Mumbai. It mostly portrays the life of urban poor, daily wage earners and life in general on streets.
Worker at ship breaking site. Darukhana, Mumbai.
Clicked this somewhere outside the raey road station in mumbai. A cobbler sitting at his self made road side shop. I find this picture fascinating simply because the kind of look I see on the face of this man. As if he has strange sense of calmness in his being and about what he does, but looking at his eyes I found some contradiction and it seem to carry myriad questions about life and survival in the city of mumbai.
Home Bound | Young boy returning home.
Fish Vendor, Raey Road, Mumbai.
Worker at the casting factory at Raey Road, Mumbai.
After hard days work.
This is a common sight in Mumbai where you will find these young kids running tea stalls on a footpath or in a some corner of a busy junction. They run tea stall along with supporting home and not to forget the studies at night school. So much for that age !!!
No matter who you are, need to communicate is universal. | Worker outside his factory, busy on the call.
