Daily Life - Rail Engine View!!!

Our return journey to the airport was an arduous 12 hour journey. For the most part of the journey, I had my Shutters ON... :-)

I wasnt quite satisfied with the clarity of the pictures as most of them were taken when the train was moving. So, bear with me for that...The below pictures depict a series of events/actions that take place in a Railway station day-in day-out... Hope these pictures would remind any of your train journeys...

The Rail Engine!

The Signal Man - Inspecting a stray bag!

The Railway Gate - People patiently waiting for the train to pass-by!!

Train - Entering the Platform and People getting busy!

The Station Master!

A Book Store - In the Platform!

The Porter Community - On Duty!

The Bonda wala!

The Chai wala!

Illegal Immigrants - The Back door Entry!!

Daily Life - My Sweet Home Street!!!

This street is rooted very deep into my memory lane... as we are here for more than 3 decades now...My first baby steps in this street, my first bi-cycle ride in this street, my first school in this street. Oh God., its getting so nostalgic...

Here are a few pictures of the beginning of a day in my sweet home street!!!
My Sweet Home Street!!

The Milk Man!!

No Pasteurization and No Artificial Flavours - The traditional milk-man supplying Fresh Milk from his very own Farm!!!

Milk Supply is based on Token System - An old man exchanging that for his daily milk...


The Veggie Wala - With the Symbol of Justice!!!


3-in-1 - The Veggie, Paani & Doodh walas!!!

A Banana wala preparing  for his day and in the background is our new-gen Tata Nano!!

A Scavenger with his Nano!!

An old man throwing the garbage in the collector-bin!!

An Old man - On the way to the Fair Price Shop! (Ration Shop)


Amidst the above activities, a dangerous Maxi-Cab pierces through this Mini-Lane!! I say dangerous because I was alarmed by the loudness of the horn he used...

The Legacy - Hamara Bajaj!!

The Bajaj Family!!
Hope you liked the pictures...

Daily Life!!!


Here is how I defined the theme "Daily Life" - A Day in the life of a busy street in a Temple Town!!!

During my vacation to India, I happened to visit this Temple Town "Pazhani". At first sight, the pictures look pretty ordinary, however, they are a true reflection of Rural India!!!

Take your time and hope you enjoy... :-)

With the mountain in the horizon., The Day is set to begin in this busy street!

A School Girl, riding her bi-cycle to her school, carrying a lot of dreams...

A Kid with his grandma, just about to cross a mobile-flower-boutique!

Twins ? - Ready for the day!

A Temple Elephant - Due to begin its Duty!!

Amidst the burning sun - A Determined Lady!

On-Duty!!

The street getting busy in the background and the horse waiting in the front for its Customer!!

The Street just getting busier, people chatting, old lady selling for her living, people returning from the temple...

No matter how busy the street gets, this man finds solace beside the street!

Cash for Vote ?

May God Bless You!

Drilling SQA Officers & The Distressed Project Manager! (Look at his face) :-)

 Still to come...
A Day in the life of a Rail Engine!
A Day in the life of my Home Street!
