    Narrow miss - The big bulls with sharpened horns look to hurt the men who try to get a hold on them. This tamer got lucky only with a torn T-shirt with the bull's horn missing his body by a very narrow margin.: by saravanaraj, Views[925]
         		 Assessing the situation - Trained bulls usually don't rush out of the gate. They wait, take a look and walk slowly into the arena. It's like
         		 Though each of these men compete against each other in getting that first hold to tame the bull, when someone gets hurt they even miss their chance for the next bull and carry the hurt man for medical assistance.: by saravanaraj, Views[515]
         		 Exhultation - When a bull goes untamed, the bulls trainer or owner gets all the rewards that were announced for the tamers. This trainer takes pride that his bull wasn't caught.: by saravanaraj, Views[576]
         		 Jallikattu(Bull taming) - An ancient sport that dates to 2000 years back is still practiced in the villages around Madurai, a city in south India. In ancient days it was to prove the courage of men to win over brides. Unlike the Spanish bull fight, here the bulls are not hurt, its the tamers who risk their life for the honor of taming a bull. 'Taming' a bull means holding or clinging on to a bull till a marked distance, usually 50 feet from the gate where the bulls are let into the arena. There are several rules to keep the sport in order like, if 2 men hold a bull they are disqualified, tamers are checked by doctors to certify they are not drunk, and bulls are checked by doctors too to assure the animal right activists that they are not drugged to make them ferocious.: by saravanaraj, Views[1711]

    My dad, despite living in Australia for nearly 26 years, refuses to get an Australian Citizenship-one of his many passive-aggressive displays of patriotism and loyalty to his homeland. One of the things rural Australia could not offer him, being a dark-skinned man with a strange accent, was a sense of belonging. This photo was taken while I was going to Chor Bazaar in Bombay and shows the underlying compassion and warmth of the Indian culture. This photo reminds me of my Dad.: by mattandmed, Views[290]
         		 This was taken walking on Mahatma Gandhi Road in Mumbai on the 26th of December. I thought it was interesting in light of the Dec 16 Delhi gang-rape case in which the Indian Police was slammed for not doing enough to protect it's people, especially in regards to sexual violence. Also around this time, Salman Khan's (a very famous Bollywood star) manslaughter case was put on hold yet again, adding to the already ten years that it has been going on, further slamming the High Court/Indian Police. : by mattandmed, Views[585]
         		 This is also outside of the Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai. A street vendor was demonstrating how to use a handheld vegetable slicer and somehow, this elderly chap in a white kurta got a hold of one of them. I think he played with it for a few minutes before he handed it back and made a comment about
         		 Bombay was a city of sporadic beauty and entertainment. While I was walking outisde of the Jehangir Art Gallery after seeing both tribal Bastar statues and contemporary Indian photography, I saw this cartoonist working his magic much to the delight of the locals who looked on with incredible interest. The cartoonist was one of many artists who sell their artwork outside of the gallery in a public art space for the passers-by to purchase.: by mattandmed, Views[640]
         		 Mumbai is actually an island connected to mainland Maharastra by a series of roads. This is at the hook of Mumbai at Girgaum Chowpatty (Girgaum Beach). The whole stretch has this ongoing bench where hundreds of people come together and sit to see the beautiful pink, Bombay sunset and stay happily until twilight. I saw this man help his wife sit on the bench as it is a bit of an effort to get up.: by mattandmed, Views[453]

         		 An elderly man washes himself in the river despite the fact it is heavily polluted. Bathing in the Ganges is a way to both purify the soul and pay homage to ancestors, whose ashes are often poured in its waters. : by acbauer, Views[338]
         		 Varanasi is considered the holiest city for those of the Hindu faith. Every morning, thousands of people travel from across the country to take part in religious ceremonies on the banks of the river.: by acbauer, Views[416]
         		 It is sunrise on the banks of the Ganges River in Varanasi, India. Rays of light push through the hot, heavy fog as people make their way to the sacred river for morning prayer. : by acbauer, Views[619]
