A very hectic and tiresome day.. walked a total of 15 km.. made my friends do the same !. But well, I think it was worth it. We decided to grab a bite before we left for home. And so the nearest eatery joint was decided as the destination. Its next to a lake right in the centre of the city of Hyderabad in India. Very Crowded on weekends .. you might have to stand to one side and eat your snack !. However .. its exactly this crowd which catches your eye. A myriad of colours , people laughing , talking discussing .. backslapping .. guys looking for seats for their gals, people queing at the food counters awaiting their orders while friends scout for places to sit at. Hawkers doing brisk business.. kids screaming and jumping around.. Bright neon lights .. flashy signboards .. snack joint and food discount offers.. Unmindful of this crowded colourful chaos , we finished our snack and stepped out of the enclosure.. and BANG.. the collage of colours struck me .The balloons looked so joyous and vibrant .. The hawker caught the interest of a few kids who were staring at them.. Inspite of the brightness and vividity of the neon hoardings , flourescent ads and colour added by people and clothing !.. The Balloons still stood out !. CLICK CLICK !!

@annora: tell me about it.. i was just standing there for 10 min to get 2 sec of those guys alone..but couldn't. Patience is one characteristic of a photographer .. ( i think ) but alas .. my friends were'nt phographers and i had already pained them enough ! :)
