Photographer Baba.Our scriptures are believed to have it all. Even some argue that all modern day inventions have been mentioned in the shastras ages back. Who knows there is a photography shastra as well and baba must have studied it.I noticed many making mockery of this baba as he was clicking with his mobile. I have a question for them.. So what? They are also humans, have emotions, love to cherish memories. Pictures are clicked so that we can re live the time. And it is not mentioned any where that only a non sadhu can do it.These babas are actually the solo travellers but not published on any travel blog. They don't travel on shoe string budget, they don't even have shoes. They travel bare foot from one to another destination. If you get a chance to interact with these travellers. I mentioned chance because they might not interact with you. Throw your travel query and the response is guaranteed not available on any travelogue.This is our culture, we don't show off. The west is quite the opposite. The person talking about himself is often referred as 'apne mooh miyan mitthoo' in our country. Writing pages singing your own praise is not uncommon in appraisal process of MNC you are working with. Our culture, our religion, our values are about giving without a mention. We don't boast about self. This is one of the reasons our scriptures are not understood by masses and are often misunderstood. Our scriptures are very technical and deep. Our yogis never discussed about them with any body, not with the intent to hide something but with the intent of not boasting about their knowledge. People don't understand the rituals and the culture and mock about it.At the end, don't disrespect what you don't understand, a coin has other side as well.#sadhu #kumbhmela #religion #culture #instagram #photogtaphersofindia #india_igers #delhi_igers #nasik #trimbakeshwar #travel #travelog #hindu #west #photo #_soi #indiaclicks #storiesofindia #yin_india

Photographer Baba
Shootout at Nasik (Peaceful)
Police photographer. "Every time I don't need a gun to shoot."Peaceful shoot by a police man. Hope, shoot only used to mean this and nothing else. Cops are also normal humans. They also have emotions, like to have fun. They too love to click and get clicked. I met this cool cop at nasik kumbh 2015.To interact one doesn't need to exchange words always. The gestures are loud enough. We realised a bond when we caught each other red handed with our weapons (camera). We did what a soldier does when notices another one. Paid the due respect and performed our duties. We shot at each other, exchanged smiles and moved on. He was performing the duty of managing the crowd, treating them like humans and doing a shoot out as and when required. It was a pleasure clicking him. .#policephotographer #police #photographersofindia #nasik #trimbakeshwar #kumbh #kumbhmela #kumbh2015 #travel #shoot #soldier #delhi_igers #india_igers #_soi #indiaclicks #yin_india #storiesofindia #lonelypalnet #lonelyplanetindia #religion #culture #duty #peace #peaceful #peacefulshootings #india
I don't need a DSLR
I can climb anywhere to get a perfect shot. I don't have a DSLR, but that doesn't define my passion for a click. The guts, desire and passion in you define you. Hats off to you.Spotted this young man at nasik kumbh 2015. The enthusiasm with which he got on to the boundary wall was amazing. He was not able to stand still and was continuously trying to balance himself by his hand stretched at back to clutch electricity pole. The determination to capture was a message to who complain about the scarcity of resources. We should be using and defining the resources to do what we want to do, instead of availability of resources defining what we do.I have heard lot of people complaining that, I want to do this and I want to do that, but not able to as I am not having enough. Many would be thinking, this old man has gone crazy and climbed like a monkey and can hurt himself and that too to click with not so great mobile. And if he would have been holding a DSLR instead of camera, the same would have appreciated stating, "even at this age he is so devoted to his passion". But the point here is how a change in device can define you. The DSLR is not a crane which can lift him it is just a device to click a photograph, and more advanced than a mobile. But what lifts him up his passion and I respect that. .#photographersofindia #delhi_igers #india_igers #captured #capturethecapture #capturedthecapturer #travel #_soi #indiaclicks #storiesofindia #trimbakeshwar #kumbh2015 #kumbhmela #nasik #dslr #passion #desire #enthusiasm
Kuttey wali aurat
Kuttey wali aurat...the lady with a dog. True love, tears for the dear though it's a dog. Dog or god, how does that matter. What matters is true love.I saw this woman crying for this dog, like a mother for her own child. I asked her, why is she so disturbed and crying. The response was " see how badly this creature is hurt, he must be suffering a lot of pain, no body understands." She said this and again started sobbing and started cleaning wounds from a near by municipality tap.The emotions were real, love was true, but everyone looked at her as if she is a mad and don't know what to do.I stood in between the lady and the world, completely baffled who had no clue who is right and what not to do.One side was love and other side all bluff, boasting all about God and God men, but no real love. .#_soi #indiaclicks #yin_india #travel #animallove #truelove #haridwar #storiesofindia #street #india # religion #culture #love #dog #god #lady #delhi_igers #instagram
