in the land of Durga
I’m loving Kolkata. I will admit the best part about it is that it’s not Delhi 😉 But I really do like it for what it is as much as for what it’s not! It’s been a fun working vacation. I’ve covered some great stories and met wonderful people and eaten so much (mishti and tok) that I’m afraid I’ll pop soon. I love the chai stalls everywhere, I love that they’ll accommodate my request for black tea (in a thimble size cup), that there’s squalor (read character) everywhere and the goddess smiles on everyone. Even from behind bars. Even when larger than life, astride a tiger …
Ah! Durga Ma!!
She is so beautiful and divine! Look at her eyes!!!
I wish I could go to Kolkata to shoot Durga Pooja festival. I would like to shoot Durga Ma in the making, in the studio:-)
Nice picture you have taken.
Thanks for sharing!
@Abhijit, thank you! your picture of Durga Maa is infinitely cooler though! 🙂
Once during college days I had waved around a Pentaz and tried to push myself into crowded mandals as a journalist
