Railway stations are one such place, where you can see the cross section of a society. People from all walks of life would be present in such a small place on a busy day.
Let's see how was the Nashik Railway station on that day.
Saffron was everywhere
As it was the time of the Kumbh mela, the prime colour in Nashik was Saffron.
There was this sitting saffron
And a walking saffron
And a saffron with Trishul
And a different kind of saffron : Working class saffron
But there were other colours too.
A yellow fellow
A darker version of yellow fellow
Apart from the pilgrims, there were other people too.
An interesting pilgrim woman
A less fortunate kid
And other happy kids playing the train in the railway station!
While someONE from the actual train looks at it
But there were some people who were in their own world
The police and sniffer dogs ensured everyone's safety
But some of them were thinking what the world was becoming
This is a Railway station : A place where a diverse "ecosystem" coexists
This was what happened in Nashik Rly station that day. And the people continued to flow
Great photos! The many different people passing by. I so often wonder what a person's story is when I see them, sitting and thinking, or just passing by.
The (were they) police with the dogs, what were the dogs for? Or had they strayed onto the platform?
As always, love your journey through pictures! 🙂
Thank you Fim. I hope you are doing well 🙂
Yes, it is interesting to observe people and think about their stories.
Yes, they were police men with sniffer dogs to find out any potential threats in the railway station. But in another picture you can find a stray dog too.
Thank you for your kind words 🙂
I have always been fascinated in Indian railway stations. They seem to be chaotic to the untrained eye, but the locals just get on with it without a care in the world! 😀 Definitely great places for people watching!
haha.. you did the right observation. Chaos is a routine here 😀
The essence of an Indian railway station..so nicely captured... (y)
Thank you Maniparna. Hope you are going to get busy with Durga puja 🙂
Yes..very much..:-D shopping et al... 😛
haha.. that is quite understood 😉
Nice documentary. Were you there to catch a train, or just to do photography?
Thank you. I arrived there on a train early morning and waited for some more time before leaving.
Lovely pics. You have really captured the essence of the life at a railway station
Thank you Ami. I was sitting there idle and I had a camera with me 🙂
You have captured the pulsating life that IS a Railway Station. Wonderful pictures!
Thank you so much. Glad you liked it. It is one place, you can just sit somewhere and newer and newer subjects will come to you. 😉
Yes, true. One can spend hours just sitting and watching 🙂 And in your case, clicking...
Yes, except that a camera attracts some serious attention while sitting there is quite a harmless activity 😉
So, how do people react to it? Are they eager to be clicked or do they feel it is an intrusion?
I try not to intrude which means I try to take pictures when they are not aware, when they are looking away etc. A zoom lens helps in this regard. I rarely go in front of them and take pictures. But there are some people who loves to be clicked by a "proper camera" 😉
You live in the perfect country to take perfect photos!
Haha.. yes.. but it seems grass is greener on the other side 😉
you're very lucky, I can not see images like this every day. India has a special color and people are also special. The best portraits 🙂
Haha.. you are obsessed with India. 🙂
Come back soon and take some more best portraits 🙂
I will come back! 🙂 It is one of my plans! NO DREAMS!! Indian guys always speak about dreams I prefer to make plans! 😉
I need explanation for that last one sentence!!!
Do not make me much attention! I only speak from my experience 😉
I see.. One day you will have to give me an explanation 😛
Yes! In front of a chai or a beer 🙂
Both are fine.. but not together 😉
I know! But I didn't know if you drink beer ... I wanted to be polite! 😉 I love two (chai and beer) But I can never have a chai here, only tea or beer... 🙁
Oh.. did i tell you that I like sidra ? 😉
:O I love it!! Is there any sidra in India? My favourite sidra http://www.maelocway.com/es/home
No, it is not available in India 😉
I'll have to take it and do business in India 😉
Do you know how to pour it ? 😉
Btw it is a great idea
I think the most important is to make it!! So have you got enought apples? :O
check out Himachal Pradesh 😉
Beautiful place! I have to go!! 🙂
And you will get your apples for Cider 😉
Yes of course. I live in an apple place too 🙂
Send me a visa!!! 😀
It is a very hard work to get a visa last times 🙁
Yes, that is why i asked you to send me one 😛
Nor is it easy for us to get the Indian visa.Too much bureaucracy 🙁 & nearly 100 €
whoa!! No wonder, we have very less tie ups with any other countries 😉
