Waiting at the traffic lights,
sitting on a rickshaw with a friend,
observing the heritage of Patiala (which by the way can be seen everywhere in this city),
and, enjoying the warmth of the sun along with the fresh/polluted air.
Typical Indian feeling – great and wonderful.
I always enjoy rickshaw rides. It’s difficult when it’s raining, but that’s fun too!

Great photo!
Thank you
speedy from the right …
Sure, their wait had just got over. Thank you for your comment
Hmmm love the photo. Somehow the snow seems incongruous but tis the season!
Thank you

Thank you for your comment

Dill valo ki India!

[It means true words]
A very nice feel to the whole thing. I especially love the sense of motion that you get from the gents on the scooter on the right. Good! Makes me want to visit!
Glad you liked it Rob, thank you. It was a quite a good day as I was with a friend whom I met after two years. So it was good to explore her city with her.
You must visit, I can say.
Great background. I hate waiting at long traffic lights.
Yes if they ask to wait for more than a minute, it can be quite irritating.
Thank you for your comment Connie.
Great photo Nandini! What a lovely place!
So nice of you to say it lovely. It definitely is, quite historic too. Thanks Gracie.
This looks so exciting! I will have to wait for such a wonderful opportunity ….
It truly was exciting. Even I didn’t know where I was headed to, so it was quite an adventure.
Waiting is the theme for this week, so I guess yeah, you’ll have to wait…
Thank you for the nice comment.
Wonderful photo! Love the motorcycle coming into the scene.
Thank you so much for your comment.
nice shot dear…I remember lot of times waiting impatiently in a rickshaw for the traffic lights to go green…the scooter in motion is lovely!!
Thank you Aditi. So nice to hear from a person who has experienced rickshaw. Thanks for the comment and the follow-up on my blog, really appreciate it.
thanks for sharing this, Nandini.
the b&w adds to the mood.
i can only imagine traffic in India. Have heard much about it and seen photos of it…. so many different people, vehicles and animals share the road and there seem to fewer accidents than in North America. i think it would fit the category “wonder”, too
Hi Chris! Long time?
Yes traffic is everywhere in India. True! But not where I live, thank God. India is a wonder in every sense.
Thank you
Hope they change soon! Good entry.
They did change, Thank you for your comment
Oh, I feel like I’m there. Thank you, Nandini!
You do? So nice! Thank Katie
Heritage in black and white. Nice thinking. Trying hand pulled rickshaws in Kolkota some day and you will feel you are going to topple….
Hand-pulled rickshaws? That must be a tough job. Sure it would be little frightening and comfortable.
Yup hand pulled. It looks inhumane at first but it is fine as long as you pay them the right amount. It is their source of living…..
Oh. That must be really really tough for them. They do need right amount of money for that.
rickshaw rides are fun
Yes they are. Thank you for your comment
NIce one! great how you captured the speedy motorbike in the intersection. Hey, and thanks for visiting my site and leaving your comments. It’s much appreciated. Your photographs inspire me.
It was my pleasure to visit your blog, it inspires me too.
And welcome to my blog. Thanks a lot!
great photo Nandini!
Thank you Xandi
You capture the city so well
Thank you Mahesh. Patiala is worth capturing.
nice pic…..
i especially loved the editting u have done….
just a suggestion…why dont u try processing this pic with a high contrats B&W…might do wonders..
I just removed the colors from this picture but didn’t make it totally B&W. Thanks for liking it. I will try out your suggestion. I really appreciate your comment.
Very nice!
I really like that slight hint of color here!
You are the only one to notice that or mention it. Thank you for the like and the comment.

Fresh/polluted air … I love how you redeemed the pleasant idea of your narration, Nandini. It takes bravery to admit a shortcoming.
Oh. Thank you.
While on road you experience both fresh and polluted.
Wonderful shot. Thank you dear Nandini, with my love, nia
Thank you Nia.

Nice piece of street photography
Thank you Martin for your comment.
Nice. Enjoyed this very much and thanks so much for stopping by my blog earlier!
Thank you Karen for stopping by.
I wish they had rickshaws in some British cities, but they would probably be expensive; everything is!
