The set from the Bollywood film, Kabse Sambhalle Rakha Hai Dill

Dobe Ghats, where they wash a lot of laundry. Apparently the beginning of Slumbdog Millionaire was filmed here – where the mother dies.

Riddhima. I talked with her and her group of friends for some time and they let me take some “fashionesque” photos of them. She exclaimed after I showed her some of the shots, “Wow, I never thought I was photogenic.”

Love the graphic nature of this illustration.

Men are shooting up in full view in the street.
