Reflection

This is another sunset photography in the bank of river Ganges. Somebody left this bottle of water where we were shooting and I found the reflection of the sun in the bottle was really fascinating. Instantly I decided to click. But the place wasn't that nice, so I had to crop the left part of the snap. There is a boat in the left part what became uninteresting with the crop. I feel sad about it. Wish there wasn't any need to crop it. So I didn't post this photograph for a long time. But recently I posted it in Orkut where many of my friends liked it. So I am taking the risk to put it in my blog also...

This is the famous Howrah bridge, which is almost synonymous to Kolkata. In my childhood this bridge meant holiday for me! Crossing this bridge meant we were going for holiday trip and that we are shortly going to take a train from Howrah station. This meant absolute freedom for the soul - no study, no strict rules of school - where one was free like a bird. This picture makes me nostalgic of that time..

Here in Kolkata we have a perfect mixture of past and present. When there is the most sophisticated bridge to cross the river Ganga, there are manually driven boats also. Boats are very important mode of transportation here in Kolkata as they are very cheap. So many goods come from the village to the city in boats. The boat owners almost spend their entire life on these boats. They sleep here, they cook here, they take their bath here also. They were very important part of our literature, but with time they lost their place, big and modern bridges overshadowed them.
