Rural Setting

Mother and Child
Just before Navaratri, the streets around the Kapaliswarar Temple are filled with shops selling Golu dolls made of Papier mache, terra cotta, POP, wood metal etc.
The shops are usually set and up and managed by families including women and children. It is not uncommon to see mothers taking care of infants while transacting business, as in this frame.

Bridging the Digital Divide
It is true that the digital revolution is sweeping through India. However, there are concerns about the Digital Divide – the gap in access between urban and rural, rich and the poor, young and the old, etc. This gap is now slowly closing.

Instant Delight
One of the delights of digital is the ability to see image instantaneously for review and rejoicing.

At the Rath Yatra
The Hare Krishna Movement or The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON, for short) conducted a Rath yatra on Saturday, starting from the Elliott’s Beach Besant Nagar. This Young devotee was spotted at the start of the yatra.
Young Devotee
The boy at Mar Thomagiri St.Mary Orthodox Church at Magazine Road St. Thomas Mount. As I took a quick snap, he became shy and ran to his mother. Even after being goaded by the mother he was hesitant to appear again. I am happy I got it the first time.
This church comes under the Madras Diocese of the Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church – mostly patronised by Malayalees. The crosses in their church are also quite ornate similar to the stone cross at St.Thomas Mount (Parangi malai, in local parlance)

Starting Early
I have always appreciated the newspaper vendors and milk distributors of Chennai. Â Even when there were natural and man made disruption of normal life, they provided the requite service in time.
Both these groups have to start the day very early to meet the dawn deadline of the customers.
This boy in Anna nagar seems to be starting even earlier in helping his father.
