This is Bandra street life and I shot it for its sheer simplicity.

I could have avoided the guy in the extreme corner but he adds to the life of my picture as this picture is nothing but a drama of life that you wont ever see on the streets of Paris or Amsterdam.

On the left is the Bhaiyya seng chanawala , he sells peanuts gram all in a cloth bag, both the tadgolawala and the sengwala are my friends .

The tadgolawala has become pucca Maharashtrian in his mannerisms and his street outlook, he speaks fluent Marathi wears the Marathi Manoos cap.

And shooting these three ladies buying tadgolas was reading a street poem ..

I try not to crop my pictures but I did crop the next one.
