Lovely Kasargodu

When u remember of film Bombay, the first thing comes to mind is the Bekal Fort. The beautiful song “Tu hi re” was shot here. After Bombay, Bekal fort became very popular tourist spot in Kerala.


As everyone, even for me this place was in my wish list. But somehow could not make it all these years. My sis who was in Konaje for sometime for studies was heard about this place, but since she was busy all the times in the studies, could not make it. I had been to her place in May and told here about my plans of visiting this place. She was very much interested and we decided to go in small group.




We took a direct bus from Tokkottu to Kasargod. One can enjoy the travel in these buses because they are really really fast. Buses are very nice with no glass window, but it has a cloth blinds.



We reached the place in two hours. I was near my dream place and was very excited.

Nomad's life in Bangalore

After long time i had been to weekend shoot. Thanks to BWS members for planning up this shoot. This was in my long pending shoot list :)

Nomads settlement @ 8th Mile, Tumkur Road, Bangalore, Karnataka.

Nomad’s at this place are mostly from Rajastan region and few are from south Karnataka also. A place where animal and people are living together. This place is a sort of slum. They live in temporarily made small tents.

People here are mainly depended on Camel for their daily bread. Men take Camel to urban areas and entertain by giving rides, each ride they charge around Rs. 50 or so, whereas women here go to construction work. And no clue about what children does.

I feel really sad for these kids, they are happy in their own world but they are totally unaware of what "future" is!!! And no one to guide them :(

Below are few shots, which I could take during the shoot. Every photo has a sad story in it :(

Jolly ride on Camel
