Chowpatty, is a well known tourist spot in south Mumbai. The place is quiet crowded in the evenings, with locals as well as tourists thronging the small beach. No one really notices or minds anyone carrying a camera and its easy to pass off as a tourist. It is a great place to find interesting characters, family & kids having a great time. Some of the shots that did not get posted earlier.
Kids love the place, and elders love playing with kids

| Look ma - what did we unearth |
When kids play, they really look like they are having a great time, until one of them chooses to wear a message

| Get Along?? |
Hard at work, building castles and digging tunnels.

Taking a dip in water is lot of fun, while the grown ups would rather derive hair splitting inspiration by looking at the horizon.

Even a toy car seem to find no favor.

All in all, Chowpatty is a busy (buzzing) place.

Lovely composition...
And, I love what is written on that kids T...:)
Thanks Saru. Great message indeed.
"look ma, what did we unearth" .. really looks like the kid is saying that. well captioned.. I like the second image as well..
I particularly like the sandcastle shot. The perspective is excellent, there is a lot of fun in the shot with the heads buried in the sand and of course it brings back memories of doing the same on the beach at Barry ISland when we were kids. Nice set, Mayank.
I liked the one where the kids are running out of the water after a dip. Look at the joy on their faces. they don't see the filth but enjoy the fun. It is the grown ups who split hair and ponder about these things.
thanks georgie.
thanks Andrew - always good to hear from you.
True, there is no greater pleasure but watching and being with kids. Life is simple and fun for them. Talking about hair.. :-)
very nice collection Mayank. i much prefer when you post a few images together rather than one at a time. Like all but i think the last 3 are my favourite.
thanks Kaushal. Yep, i also think series of photographs work better than single posts. The story of a place is much better.
wonderful series. I really want to explore Chowpatty after seeing your and Kaushal's work now;) Loved the first two photographs and 'Business No Good':)
Nimish - we should plan shoot some day. It would be great to catch up.
These are great shots, and they just happen to be in my favourite style! (No contradiction in "street shots" at the beach, either.)
@andrew - good to hear from you. And thanks for your comments. Oh well if there can be a Coney Island, I can have my Chowpatty Beach as well.
