  2. Deepak, this is one of your most compelling shots. The woman walking away, the cat looking at you, the colors, and the question: is this a place of poverty, or just an unusual place? Or is it usual, just not usual for me? I could look at it for hours. There is so much here to see.

    1. Thank you Petrea.
      This is a place where the potters from Gujarat who have migrated to Mumbai for a living, have set up a ghetto. This is their home and workplace. It is called Kumbharwada (potters colony) in Dharavi which has the dubious reputation of being the largest slum in Asia.

  3. Wow! This is a dramatic shot. I'm wondering how difficult it must be to give directions to your residence or place of business. And it appears you startled those little kitties who are all cuddled together. :)
