Heritage

Mysore Railway station.  The advt. on the lamp-post violates the spirit of the law the govt.  enacts to protect/preserve the city’s heritage sites.

Lakeside

Rising water level at Kukkrahalli has washed closer to the shore sewage water flowing into the lake,  raising the stench level close to unbearable, for joggers around the lake.

Deity on road

This man has set up a virtual temple on his push-cart, and takes it round Dhanavantri Rd., for the benefit of  pavement traders and street vendors who start work so early that they are pressed for time to visit a temple.

Cucumber seller

Push-cart salesman on Dewan’s Rd pauses to make a sale, and pose for my camera.  Cucumber is on our daily menu. Can knock off a plateful , mid-morning – Elevenish – when you feel like a munch between breakfast and lunch.
