Wall collage (4)
A parked cycle rickshaw and strong shadows of nearby wires together with torn posters and signs on an old wall made an interesting collage in a small lane near Khazane Walon ka Rasta, Jaipur walled city. (Photo date: November 24, 2007)

Lone rickshaw at dusk
A cycle rickshaw in a quiet lane at dusk, in Bapu Nagar. It was cold that evening and I guess most people preferred to stay indoors! This is a high ISO photograph. (Photo date: November 15, 2007)
Hot June afternoon!
Parked two wheelers and a somewhat vacant road at Bapu Bazaar, Jaipur, perhaps indicative of the fact that most people preferred to stay indoors on a very hot June afternoon! (Photo date: June 6, 2007)
Chock-a-block!
Parked vehicles and passerbys at Gopal-Ji ka Rasta, an ever-busy street in the walled city, famous for sweet and jewellery shops. During weekdays this street is usually extremely busy and I had a hard time finding a good spot to take a picture from! (Photo date: June 6, 2007)
Cycle rickshaws
Cycle rickshaws in Johri Bazaar, photographed against a strong and harsh early evening sun. They are a great way of travelling short distances within the city, the walled city specially and provide low investment self employment opportunities to many hardworking (and largely honest) poor people.
