Hungry


It has been a busy week and my camera is hungry. I haven't got good shots since quite sometime. Hopefully, things will be better next week, I need to get some great shots.
Come August and I see pilgrims on the Delhi roads. These pilgrims walk hundreds of miles every year to collect the holy water from rivers in northern India. Most of them are men but I often see women also. Dressed in saffron clothes and carrying stuff to worship and to collect holy water, they travel miles. Stoppages on roadside are created expecially for these guys where they can take rest, get water and other amenities.

I don't know how do they do it, I walk few miles every weekend to be fit. But hundreds of miles is too much. The Sun doesn't wants to left behind too, it plays its part.
I am sure most most of them are illeterate and that's why they ill tempered too. Some of them are notorious and do crazy stuff, such as they get on to a truck, with big speakers, playing loud music they dance and roam around.
These guys are hardcore, that's why they are able to do this, I take stairs to 15th floor of my building and I get tired like anything.
Kudos to these guys.
