This is something about Cinema which I have observed only in South India, specially Chennai; large, gigantic hoardings, advertising the upcoming movies. In most of the places like Delhi and other parts of India where I have spent most of my life, the filmy advertising is there & that too in fanatic proportions, but I dont know whether it is the local civic rules or a completely different style, such BIG hoardings are nowhere to be seen. Cinema definitely is an essential part of life of most of the Indians.

52 - 6th - A beautiful illusion

The beautiful image which you can see above is not of a river or of some sundry water body which adds to the topographical beauty of the city. Rather, it is a stinking drain running right through the heart of the city. Totally uncovered on almost its entire stretch, it eventually drops all the filth in the bay of Bengal.

I can't explain how tough it was for me to stand there and take this photograph :)
