On the streets of Hyderabad...

Style has nothing to do with money, originally uploaded by LooseCanon.

I was on a usual visit to Hyderabad from 25th to 27th August '07. Somu was planning to go by car, and Arpita and I joined in. So, the three of us reached Hyderabad on 25th afternoon. This time i golconda fort on my photography agenda and because Arpita was visiting Hyderabad for the first time, we were planning to roam around in the city as well.
Anyway, the same evening there were bomb blasts in Lumbini Park and Gokul Chat and all plans were cancelled. We didn't enter the city at all. Golconda remained the only option and even that plan was washed out by the rains. Finally we went to meet up with an old college friend OSK. Near his place i came across this group of street children who came up to me for "Ganesh kaa chandaa". So, i suddenly came up with this idea of clicking their pics. I gave them a little chandaa and after that starting clicking.
This was my first experience of any kind of street photography and i loved it. You get to connect with people who you'd never really meet and/or care about in your life. It opens your eyes and your mind.
Street photography rocks - period!!
