Bansuri ( Bamboo flute) seller at Beach


Had gone to beach, and while waiting for the sun to set, I noticed him... sitting there in a detached mood, watching the people playing in the tides...
What would be the thoughts crossing his mind?
Is he wondering why people get so excited by the sea, which is part of his daily life..?
Or is he counting the number of bansuries he must sell that day, to meet his daily need..?
I captured the moment through the window glass, so as not to disturb the whole mileu...
And later that evening, I bought a bansuri from him.
I Dedicate this post to Abhijit Dharmadhikari, my friend, a very talented Photographer and Musician..

  10. Dear Pts,
    thanks for the comment... yes, u r right, but at that time and position, that was the best i could do... if i opened the glass, or moved the car to a better position, he might have noticed it and turned or moved away...

  14. md, (my dearest),
    yess.. those memories linger in this air, the same place where we spent those days. memories make me smile, they make my eyes wet too. gone are those days, of our little joys, silly tears, kiddy fights.. what's left is memories.. i live in those, and they make me what i am now..
    huggzzz
