My timeline on FB today is studded with so many wonderful photographs, posted by folks from all over the world, (thanks to a family member obsessed by photography).
And then comes this very perceptive click , from my FB friend, engineer and fellow collaborator on Madness Mandali's Kavikala, Satish Suggala .
Amazing capture ! Then again, not so amazing, because that's how things are around everywhere you look ......
(This brilliant photograph by Satish Suggala)
How the future looks
for the girl
hit with acid;
The state of mind
of the raped Noida girl
identified
and unlawfully
named by the cops;
The blank eyes
of an Aji
whose free cataract operation
failed;
The way the
side road was at night
when the masked goons attacked;
How the textbook looked
to the 5th class boy
studying nights
when
the last candle gave out
during planned load shedding
in his village;
The color of the humor
when the planning commission
begs you
to enjoy and live
on Rs 26/32 a day;
And finally,
the color of the crores,
confiscated in UP elections,
stashed in Switzerland,
and
lining the deep pockets
of those
who wear power-white.
Prize winning photo indeed !
