I spent a lot of time with the Hawa Mahal and for sometime I was looking out of the colored glasses towards the road. A few glasses were broken so I could click some pictures as well. It was actually quite fascinating to use my zoom lens without being observed. I have often seen girls…

Hawa Mahal at Night, Jaipur, Rajasthan
Couldn’t manage anything better. I was trying to use the tripod but was not getting much success as I was not getting a proper angle. And the crowd that gathered around me was also not helping. Asked one man, “Are you a professional?” No, I replied without looking at him (no, I was not being…
