The Heat and Dust part of an Air Conditioned break
Lest I spend most of my weekend break in Hyderabad flitting from one air-conditioned cocoon to another, my dear friend S took me into what is probably the pulse of Hyderabad - Charminar, where I reluctantly ejected myself from her plush and cool car into chaos, heat and colour. This isn't a place to be verbalized but an atmosphere to be experienced. Here are some pictures through which I have tried to capture what surrounded me. And there is a small slideshow here>

Hi Priya... I really like this stroll through the town, capturing whatever caught your eye... especially the flacons of liquids, the cloths, the vendors, especially the one with his hand on his hip, the crowd of women... a beautiful series indeed...
Not sure if I ever asked if you know of the blog called "Indiaphragme" ? It's here :

Best wishes...
Thank you Owen.
I just checked out the link. It is always interesting to see this country captured from an outsider's eye. What has been shown is very much what I see around me everyday.
