streets of chennai :: pongal holiday


a few of us ventured out with our cameras one morning. 
we were aching to get out on the streets where all the action was,
and apparently where all the color was too!
we happened to be out during the Pongal holiday and were greeted by people
passing by saying "happy pongal." we just replied with a "happy pongal" back. 
we had no idea what that was, or i didn't anyway. 
i am not sure if those scraps in the trash were from holiday decor 
but somebody snatched a few for a souvenir!

so the guy at the top was my favorite street shot.
he was curious of us and we were happy to meet friendly people. he saw that we all had big cameras wrapped around our necks and then asked for us to take his picture.
at first we took a normal shot of him just standing and smiling,
but then he got into it and posed 
with his cigarette in his hand!
