Great photo Ankush, but an awful tough place to try to survive, you really conveyed the sense of poverty and despair with this one !!

I don’t know what happened Ankush, but let me try again.

You really did a great job in conveying the poverty and despair in this scene, nice work !!

Clearly, a corner that has known better days. If only those motorbikes could speak — I’m sure they’d have some tales to tell.

A man living in a house like that has 2 vehicles… doesn’t sound like poverty. It looks like an uninhabited building left to rot. There is no doubt the photograph is very interesting

That was a fantastic image. I have seen areas like that in Surat but I didn’t know it could be made to look so beautiful. Well done!

I didn’t know that you are not only a tabla master but also a professional photographer!
