Looking for the right angle #WordlessWednesday

Perched up at stage height, this photographer is waiting for the right angle.

Sharing this with Esha on #WordlessWednesday.

I hope today’s call for a Mumbai Bandh is unneeded because we need to get on with life.

Violence never solves problems and destruction is self defeating.

    I like the caption. I don’t know what angle the photographer will get but your angle for the photo is commendable.

    It’s totally pointless, Sunita! Just yesterday as I watched the burning and destruction of vehicles, I wondered if that would solve the problem. Has violence ever solved any problem? People only need an excuse to vent their frustration. A sorry state of affairs. :(

      Yes indeed. I don’t know when people will wake up and realise that they are just being manipulated by the politicians for their own selfish reasons

    Violence never solves any problem and at some level, the perpetrators also know it. It is actually sought as a deflection from important issues. And for one, it makes me ask is there election due in Maharashtra in the near future?
    Coming back to the photo, this is the first time I got to see this kind of camera from up close. Where did you get a chance to click it?

    What an utter shame that violence is used as a weapon for manipulating citizens! I mean, where have we all come to?…Look at all the hullabaloo over the film ‘Padmavati’ during the Gujarat elections? Such a sorry state of affairs! The capture is great…I loved the angle from which you took that shot, Sunita. I’m looking forward to resuming the #WW linky on my blog very soon as discussed with you.

    So many controls and handles to manage! Top job yet so tedious and lonely. He must be the man of great patience.
    You froze that solitude moment so well Sunita.
    As for the Mumbai Bandh.. it showed the ugly face of the rising India. Much needs to be done about the mindsets of the people.

    Yup this was certainly needless but then religion and poltics is a very volatile combination and is exploited mindlessly by the stupid politicos!
