Upside Down
Children of India

These "gymnast" kids are a common sight at major traffic signals in Bangalore. They do their drill and then go to the stalled motorists asking for spare change. I don't want to use the word 'beg', but can't see how is it different. Its very sad, of course.

Clicked this one at the MG Road-Brigade Road junction, Bangalore on 14th November, which happens to be the Children's Day in India. I would've loved to accomodate the entire shadow in the frame, but the footpath ended abruptly, so I cut it there. I've blurred the traffic in background a bit using GIMP.

This photo represents me at the weekly contest at Bangalore Shutter Bugs. This week's theme is Children.

Thanks Ashwin & EC. I thought the traffic in the background will add to the story, it looks pretty cluttered up :-S.
