Drifting Focus Part 2 – A Walk in the Park

In this second part of the Drifting Focus series – I take you for a walk in the park. Probably the largest community park in the city – Lalbagh.. ( Here is the first one in case you are interested – Bazaars of Bangalore)

If you have been following my work, you’d probably be familiar with my fascination for flawed things around me. I find such things very intriguing and am drawn to them.

In this post too, you’ll find my getting drawn to broken, old, dried, rusted everything objects. I wanted to capture things that a very much a part of the beautiful Lalbagh but probably haven’t been photographed much.

And then, of course there is food – our good old desi park-park. Plenty of options for folks to explore.

So, here’s the everyday lalbagh as seen through my lens :

Random Tree Trunk

Gorgeous Iron Bench

I had absolutely no idea what this is … but it sure looked fascinating!

One of my fav. shots – Old discarded park bench supported by the tree…. Kept it B&W for it more hauntingly beautiful, than the coloured version ( which you will see further down in the post)

Red walls & almost in ruins ….just couldn’t resist!

The coloured version of the old broken bench

Nature caught in action!

All things old, metal & rusted …

and then some more….

And then the glorious food ❤

Veg & fruits chaat getting prepped

Bhutta !!! ❤

The much need liquid respite !

Pineapple | Raw Mango | Cucumber – Glorious Trio

One of my fav. park food … the immensely addictive Pori / spiced roasted puffed rice & peanuts.
