Innocence at its best!

Hi!
One fine afternoon, when it was raining outside.. i decided to remain indoors and focus my attention on some very innocent and cute members in my family!



Initially it was very difficult to make the kittens pose coz they would just not stay at one place! I decided to place a large glass dish and planned to station all of them over it hoping that the natural light available would help me present a perfect picture....




Assume, they were scared and so meekly followed my directions to the 'T'...




Acting like a silent spectator throughout the drama was the mother cat who took note of every activity though got a little restless at times... she did make sure the kittens were comfortable posing towards the camera! :-)

A traditional feline pose!



One of growing kittens got really mischievous... would always keep jumping from one roof to the other... would often let loose and bring the entire house down... harmless though!!


Mother cat too didn't mind posing for me....

Guava market at Allahabad!

Hi!
This time, here's another presentation of a typical countryside market at Allahabad...


Last January, when i was in the ancient city of Allahabad, i decided to visit the Guava market which is very popular for its guava varieties; especially the red ones!

A typical day starts at 0500 hrs when the local vendors pluck the fruits from their orchards and get the same to the market to sell...


a local vendor....

Also; adding color to the entire market are the vibrant bags in which the fruits are packed and arranged in the market...




A routine busy day....





The extreme chill in the atmosphere doesn't effect the determination of the villagers at all... Some ways to combat the same...





The morning market starts very early and all the transactions get over in almost an hour's time! amazing speed...



Another group of enthusiastic young vendors...

After a hard day's work, one of the very few luxuries or respite is a puff!
