Rainy day in mumbai

Varun raj is pleased with Mumbai and he is pouring his blessing on this city of dreams continuously for last 3-4 days. The city of dreams is at its beautiful best during these 4 months. Rains here are reflection of people's perception about their own lives. While it was pouring heavily i could click few moments which can be a reflection of these people' s mindset, which is evident from the way they react to the external factors, for example if we observe first two pictures a mother is accompanying her two daughters all have their independent umbrellas and are taking care of their own selves yet the mother is observant and keeping a close watch on her daughters. A typical urban centric middle class family picture which stresses that space and care both can exist with each other.






The third picture represents a mother who gets out of the auto with her kid opens the umbrella and holds it on her own head which reminded me of an old story in which a mother monkey keeps her child on her head till the water reaches her throat and after that in order to survive she gets her child down and stands on his head. Own survival is such a natural and selfish instinct :).





The fourth picture represents care free attitude of the mother son duo who are least bothered by the pouring rains. More of a rebel kind of body language which shows we are least bothered by the external factors we are the way we are.

This one represents a person who is  more worried about his materialistic belongings than himself, a typical youth who doesn't care if he gets wet but is more worried about his materialistic belongings. A classic representation of how possessive we have become about our materialistic belongings :).

The next one is a delivery person who has to complete his job come what may be it heavy rain or any other calamity the person has to complete it for his own survival.
Contrary to the above picture this shows survival can also bring out the selfless characteristic of human personality...... :)

Last but not the least a classic example of "Yaaron Dosti badi hi ajib hai....ye na ho to kya phir bolo ye jindagi hai".......... A picture highlighting the sharing of two humans in which neither is comfortable but yeah both are happy to share the shelter which is protecting them from the rain........





This heavy rain gave me chance to observe some basic principles of human nature at the same time also enlightened me about my own self by telling me "dude stop killing time by observing people around you, go get a life".
