Thematic Photographic 28 - Bright

Perenially Bright shopping lights here - off Linking Road (a shoppers heaven) in Bandra,Mumbai. However the crowds on this day are much subdued due to the recent terrorist attacks. Took this picture on 09Dec08 which was celebrated as Bakri (goat) Eid by the Muslims. On this day they sacricifice goats, cook delicious Mutton Biryani and come out shopping and greeting.

    Makes the theme of "Santulan" even more appropriate doesn't it? You capture Eid, and I Diwali for the "Bright" prompt.

    Perhaps some day we'll all realize that what unites us as human beings is far greater than what divides us as people or nations.

    Until then, be safe my friend.

    I'm sure it looks different to you, but it looks amazingly like a shopping area near me here in Washington. Isn't it strange how things can look normal and be anything but. Always enjoy your photos. Take care, stay safe.

    What a beautiful photo and a wonderful contribution to this week's theme. I hope you have even more pictures to share in the days to come!

    I hope the brightness helps overcome the darkness that led to these attacks. As many have said before me, we're more alike than we are different, and humans everywhere must start incorporating this thinking into their lives.
