Travel is about awe-inspiring landscapes, interesting art and culture, variety of cuisines, adventure and so much more. I definitely enjoy all of that. But, what I have really learnt to savour in the last few years as a traveller are the ordinary moments – the everyday life in a new place, the little nuances and the unruffled faces. I believe the usual stuff that just whizzes by without demanding your attention has the real magic that fosters the curiosity of a traveller. What do you think?
I have tried to compile such ordinary, yet impressive moments that I have captured on my travels –
 |
| Morning scene in Goa – A bread-man on his bicycle |
 |
| Life on Dal Lake in Srinagar – Brewing tea on a boat |
 |
| An evening at a dargah in Bhuj |
 |
| Fish market in Murud |
 |
| Bhujodi village, Kutch – A cows stable at a house |
 |
| A typical fish shop in South Goa |
 |
| One of the street-side restaurants in Srinagar |
 |
| Flower vendors at Fatehpur Sikri, Agra |
 |
| Devpur Yaksh village, Kutch – one of the homes |
 |
| Young boys playing cricket – one of the villages in Udupi |
 |
| One of the streets in Srinagar |
 |
| A vegetable vendor on Dal Lake |
