Badhwar Park, Bombay

Badhwar Park, Bombay
The old man looks on as I take out the camera, frame my picture. He asks if this is for a newspaper. I say this is for my own practice. He looks for a few minutes as I attempt various compositions, then speaks up again.

“Did you hear about the earthquake? That happens here sometimes. The water comes up this high.”

    People in Koliwada at Badhwar Park may nothing about tsunamis and I hope they never need to. But when the water comes "this high" it's their house which gets filled with water. Rather uncomfortable that.

      Thanks. I was taking a cab from [info]freegeek's place to VT when I saw this, and then I had to come back for pictures.
