Trekking Pushkar- The Saint of hope.

23/10/2009

Later on my walk in The Pilgrimage city, Pushkar i meet this old saint. He was busy in gathering some money from the local shop owners. He didn't reacted strangely when i took his photo, must be because of his experiences with such encounters (As Pushkar is one of the favorite place for the street photographers.).

Trekking Pushkar : The Hair Dresser.

22/10/2009

Hello friends,
Last Tuesday we went to the holy land of Pushkar. I found many interesting shots there. I will post some of them later. Here this is a barber shop named 'Shri Ram Hair Dresser' and there is also something written in a foreign language. This is because for the sake of the foreign tourists visiting Pushkar regularly to find peace and experience Spirituality.

...Just an another day for survive...

15/10/2009
Jaipur,

Hello friends...
Another shot from the heart of the city. I felt very bad when i read about the Poverty in India at Wikipedia. It's shocking to know that 42% of our people are living below International poverty line which is almost half of the total population. The main causes for poverty in India are from the past, the caste system and invasions by different countries are some of them.

Scene like this is very common here. Here also these men are threatened by the beast called poverty. These people have to fight everyday for their survival. They are mainly rag pickers or daily wage workers. I dream that there will be one day when there is no poverty in this world, there would be enough food for everyone so that no one has to sleep hungry, the children who are working today at different factories as child labors could secure bright future for there children... I hope the sun will rise in there life and the beast of poverty would be vanished.
