Learning Monsoon

firsttym took a cam and enterd markets streets roads o so called city of dreams MUMBAI. was a bit shy frst of all dont no how to click gud pics, first saw some skool children going home frm skool , the wer wearing same raincoats given frm der skool. the wer having fin splashing water on each other de made me remind of an image wat i thought , my hands went to the bag and was confused shuld i click or not to click. den somehow i clickd a pic kids noticed me then the approached me and demanded for some more pics to b taken. i was feeling awsom and went on clicking der fun. moving forward i dropd ma sis to skool and clicked some bhajiwalas od streets. some wer laughing while some wer staring at me like am naked or something. hmmm now my confidence level was litl high, moved to bustop to go to mulund station , i had pass but raind din allow me to go by bus . i choosed walking went on clicking many potholes, saw a woman collecting garbage even clicked her she din mind me, walking in rain i reached a market of mulund saw very rich sceenery der but dont no wat was stoping me frm taking out my camera, i think if i have had removed ma cam out then i could click many awsome sceens, hmm better luck next tym. i went to station , i was amused by seeing that train was on tym, den on train i was thing of wer to go was thinking of getting out in evry stn and go on clicking, then a sceen clicked in my mind it was somewer near 7th of June wen i went kurla, the sceen was the station road getting logged by water. i thought i would get some gud pics der. train halted at kurla i came out, no no the crowd brought me out. wen near ticket counter made some courage and removed my camera frm bag. opened my umbrela. as i stepd out of stn i saw awsome water loging school kids playin cycles taxies rickshaws passing by splashing rainwater men carring luggages people standing besides a ganesh temple majority wer muslim women in burkhas. was really a gud sceento show liberal india but again was bit doughful abut der reactio coz a muslim woman b4 refused me to take her pic with her children in rain. so i moved forward clicked wat ever came in front of me. den my eyes went to a street fully logged with rain water. just made a click frm outside, some shopkeepers noticed me de called me. i went into water without folding my pants due to xitement. a man in a shop asked me " WAT R U DOING ? R U SOME KIND OF REPORTER?" i thought for a while and hmmm i said yes i am and i work for tines as a parttym photographer, i was being vry happy frm inside coz de belived me and was treating me with respect. evry shopkeepers wer calling me to der shop and wer xplaining me abut der griviences and was blaiming BMC. clicked many pics in diff posses angles. i even took an interview of a shopkeeper and recorded it in ma camera after going to video mode. unfortunately after taking that video my battery finished, i mean my camera's battery finished. hmm i think i clickd enough pics today. i was very happy dat day. dat day i realized people of mumbai are more afraid to reacting than me afraid of clicking them . people will do anthing 4 being noticed b it a channel or a newspaper, and respect that medium that will help them come in a paper or channel. i was feeling gr8. was feeling good for choosing BMM 4 my graduation. the fact that i was out for clicking some awsome pics 4 a photography competition. but now i got to no gr8 pics cant b clicked in a day or to it takes trmendous devotion to the subject might take years for a masterpiece. so i decided to keep on clicking and enjoy life at its best and b happy. but one day i would definetly upload my MASTERPIECE.
