From the edge of your eye, you see another one heading for the kill. In one instinctive moment, you snap up your camera and swing it into position to catch the action. Your timing is perfect, the angle is right, it’s meant to be the next Nat Geo award winning picture. There’s only one thing that’s gone wrong – the picture isn’t as bright or brilliant. Have you been there, done that? Well, here’s what probably went wrong. You were shooting in semi-darkness and the camera only captured as much light as you allowed it.

As you know, it is almost like a transport strike on the Holi day, I had to travel changing the transport from auto to bus and then to taxi to reach Sudder Street. The place was really quite and nothing seemed to happen. I was in doubt – was it the correct place. I called up Asis Da and Tumpa to confirm and also talked to some local people.
