Perspective

Beautiful Naa. Clicked on this small bridge which connects Hastings to Kidderpore market. I had gone to the market to get myself a nice folding umbrella which I did for just Rs. 100.

The market was most beautiful in a very unorganised way. Reminded me about my native place. Every Wed/Thurs there used to be this Chanda which is basically a travelling market. My Granny/Granpa and I would travel in Granpa's old black ambassador to this market where we would sell of excess produce from our land and buy what we required. The experience was most magical.

Anyway walked back from the market along this water body. The water body is flanked on both sides by these slums which lead up to my guesthouse. The whole walk is a contrast. You can see these small hutments flanked by well to do buildings.

Now look closely at the picture again. On the left corner you'll see some plastic bags and waste and the water is really murky and unclean. But seen from a distance at a certain angle it looks beautiful. There's always some beauty in everything, it just depends on your perspective.

Luv,

Pranay
