    Despite the fact that many times they are forced to do a grown man's work at a very early age (usually involving the relationship with the turists), the children of Varanasi still enjoy the simple games of childhood. Street Cricket is the main sport activity for children along the stone steps that descend into the Ganges.: by silviupaveljournal, Views[559]
         		 The Ganges River is heavily polluted at Varanasi, priests and rituals are everywhere and bodies are cremated in public. At sunset, pilgrims and locals alike bathe in the Ganges as part of their daily hindu rituals. : by silviupaveljournal, Views[1740]
         		 Varanasi is also the religious capital of India. Hindus believe that death at Varanasi can bring salvation (moksha), but life seems also to be lived to the full. Every day, across the Ganges riverbank, a series of religious rituals involving chanting, praying, singing and incineration processes take place. This context is also the playground for the children of Varanasi who are playing in front of temples - ghats. : by silviupaveljournal, Views[803]
         		 Three days in Varanasi, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the oldest in India, and a series of images with the intention to capture the daily atmosphere of the children living along the banks of the Ganges River. Every morning the dirty laundry are washed in the Ganges and stretched out to dry along the shore. Elderly and children alike participate in this activity that begins immediately after the first rays of the sun.: by silviupaveljournal, Views[357]

    fishing is the way of life in kollam which holds one of the busiest harbour in South Kerala. There is none other way to learn about the culture then following a local on fishing trip. With just traditional fish nets and having to manually swim with it to cover a range required. This is the start of it.: by azrryy, Views[769]
         		 While one manned the boat the other swim with the nets the cover the range need to capture fishes in the region. Such was their efficiency and that in just a hour, abundant of estuarine swimming fishes like mackerels are caught.

         		 Seen sandwiched between landfills and shiny skyscrapers are the mega-slums of Mumbai, where most of the hawkers live. These informal settlements have their own microeconomics with tens of thousands of small home-based manufacturing businesses and residents from all cultural backgrounds in India. It is a brilliant example of survival of the poor, where livelihood is upheld not by government aids or charities but by true labour and hard work.: by bentobox, Views[686]
         		 Rural migrants from nearby states flock to Mumbai in the hope of opportunity, despite all the efforts to stop them- including violence- from the conservative right-wing political parties. 20% of the hawkers’ earnings are collected as rent, and several ad-hoc bribes to local authorities are necessary to keep them on the streets. This immigrant worker, seen on a truck that says “Mera Bharat Mahan” (My India is great), was caught dozing in a traffic jam amidst the honking of “auto-rickshaws”.: by bentobox, Views[320]
         		 The 250,000 street vendors of Mumbai are a part of the urban poor that has moved on to create jobs for themselves with minimal capital, instead of depending on the indifferent government to help them. Experts estimate that the ‘informal’ economy from businesses such as street-vending contributes significantly towards the country’s annual economic growth and is responsible directly or indirectly for as much as 90% of all employment. Seen here hiding from the midday sun on the heavily polluted Chowpatty beach, is a “gola” (slush) vendor.: by bentobox, Views[699]
     
    The hawkers comprise a small section of slum-dwellers that supports the survival of the city’s other poor by keeping essential commodities cheap and affordable. The children’s toys at this Muslim vendor’s stall sell for about 10 cents each, but business is slow until sundown. Most of the goods are handmade in the mega-slums of Mumbai and sold directly to vendors, thereby cutting out the expensive middlemen. : by bentobox, Views[774]
         		 As cars carrying the newly rich come to stop for half a minute at a traffic light in Mumbai, a mob of young boys swiftly surround them- one offering to wash the windscreen, and the other selling water bottles with original labels but questionable water. But the most popular traffic light business is that of pirated books, which are sold for about a tenth of the market price. The sad irony however is that these “book boys” will remain illiterate throughout their lives.: by bentobox, Views[310]
         		 A light that travelled so far - There was more to this early morning than a night that woke up from its dreams. I saw this traveller’s family inviting the Sun from the ground. Their dreams, their hunger and their greater lives everything started brightening up in front of my lens. : by thecamels, Views[340]
         		 Ships, Balloons and Footsteps - A camel seller in Pushkar; looking at a bird that is flying in the distance, while my camera just skipped a heartbeat. In Pushkar, Camels are not sold or bought; they are just handed over to the right one who wants to cross that longest of distance. : by thecamels, Views[1110]
         		 On an earth that would one day disappear into the Sky - I met this huge flock of Camels returning. I asked myself, but where to? May be the man behind them suddenly changed his mind; maybe he overheard one of the camels whispering to the other that they still haven’t seen them all. May be the man behind them overheard this, and decided to continue their journey. : by thecamels, Views[402]
