Originally clicked and uploaded by - Pratosh Dwivedi - 9th Feb'08In a city with several thousand people struggling to manage a meal twice a day, such a political extravaganza demonstrates the indifference in the ruling minds towards the tax money paid by the ruled. Streets lit up with endless strings of small glowing lights, huge lit-up effigies of local political big-shots, entire area decorated like a wedding celebration, big projectors set up for people to see what useless crap the leaders are shouting and hundred other completely unnecessary arrangements; just for the sake of this political mess.
Here are some more shots of the same

The people sitting there are simply relaxing and nothing much. I saw all these stupid stuffs in which they are wasting money, when I was passing that way. Though the ruling persons change time to time, these kinds of exaggerations never change.
The image is vague. There is no subject Matter.
There is a title, and a picture to elaborate on the same. What more subject matter do you want?
What Pratosh is this a blog for essays no media would take your image for it does not convey your intended message.To an unbiased observer it seems like the creative description of a random image.If there were hoardings or the screen was more clear then may be there would have been some credibility to your description.
But I agree with your comments political mega melas are a decadence against the backdrop of the suffering millions.
Though I cant see any essays written anywhere, the readers should keep in mind that this is not just a photo blog ...
Also, please keep in mind that different people have different perspectives. I may not think the same way as you are doing and then click the photo. So, when the photo doesnt match your perspective I request you to try and think the way I did. Maybe that way, you would be able to understand what exactly it conveys. After all, it was me who was present there with the camera .. So I can only describe that with what intention the picture was taken.
Also, please try to understand that I am not demonstrating my photography skills here .. I just to try capture some moments around me and put them here .. so every photo is not expected to be technically correct or conforming to all photographical parameters :)
I am thankful for all the critical comments cauz they really help me improve ... but at the same time I would really appreciate if my criticizers for once see the things from my point of view.
I shall hitherto agree to your perspective about any image you post as well as applaud the originality, the genre and the skills with it has been clicked. I shall also henceforth be sure to not read any more or any different meaning into your images than what you proclaim it to be.Happy clicking and Happy blogging.
