The Only Chaiwali of Bandra Reclamation Anandi Ben Daya
These are a huge lot of street pictures I shot in November first week but was too lazy to download them from my camera ,, Canon EOS 7D .
Most of my images since 2011 have been shot on Canon EOS 60D .I used this DSLR prolifically ,,I hardly used the 7D .. but of late I have given the 60D much needed rest .. and I have to take both the cameras and lenses for servicing at Canon Service Center Natraj Towers Andheri East.
Well about Anandi Ben the lady tea maker or chaiwali , serving tea to her clientele of rickshawalas at Lal Mitti Bandra Reclamation.. I dont drink sweet tea but honestly her tea is the best ,,I endorse and vouch for it ,,people throng to her tea stall from early morning till late night ,, her grandson college going helps her out and serves tea too.. her husband and her son are bed ridden.. they are tailors .,. and she supplements the income by serving home made tea .
I was shooting her after a very long time ,, I was going to town and this series is of my town visit twice ,,sometimes by bus sometimes by cab.
The Canon 7D is very fast and accurate and I am hoping to shot a video this evening a function at my house ,, hopefully ,, I normally shoot my videos on my HTC Desire 826 mobile phone .
I got a call from my Naga Guru Shri Vijay Giri Maharaj I will visit him one of these days ,,as he is leaving for his hometown Mangalore .
Than I got a call from Mahesh my Gurus disciple he wants me to come for the Ardh Kumbh in April in Hardwar ,, he hails from Hardwar my Tantrik Guru Kapoor Khamakhya hails from Hardwar too... I might go as I have never seen Hardwar and want to visit Kalliar Sharif too ,,to meet the Qalandari Malangs.
But before all this I will try to leave for Chehlum Moharam.. I have not decided the city ..only where there is lot of zanjir matam head cutting etc... I dont want to shoot tame stuff during Moharam..
