If you have seen my previous photo tribute to street entrepreneurs in Delhi, you’d know by now that I am a big fan of those creative minds making the streets of India their daily spot for business. In this photo, you can see a mobile kiosk, that sells sweets and ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/in-new-delhi-business-on-wheels/feed/ 1 https://bkpk.me/hauz-khas-village-hispter-new-delhi/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hauz-khas-village-hispter-new-delhi https://bkpk.me/hauz-khas-village-hispter-new-delhi/#comments Sun, 15 Jun 2014 01:24:35 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=12518
Welcome to Hauz Khas Village, the New Delhi equivalent of Williamsburg in New York, Kreuzberg in Berlin or East London in the UK. Well, not exactly… but Hauz Khas is certainly on its way to become a hipster hot spot. You get the idea. If you’re in Delhi and you ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/hauz-khas-village-hispter-new-delhi/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/india-its-electrifying/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=india-its-electrifying https://bkpk.me/india-its-electrifying/#comments Tue, 04 Mar 2014 14:12:38 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=9973
After a 6 week interlude in Lisboa, we’re back in India! It’s funny how frequent mobility has made us used to all sorts of cities and daily routines. When we reached Portugal, I felt the streets were rather empty… where was everyone? I wondered… Lisbon was not different as such, ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/india-its-electrifying/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/11442/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=11442 https://bkpk.me/11442/#comments Tue, 04 Feb 2014 17:45:19 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=11442
Selling vegetables at the market in India seems to be a tough job. No wonder this fellow in today’s photo decided to take a nap while his colleague would do all the work at a subji stall in Sarojni Market, New Delhi. Markets in India tend to be as busy ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/11442/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/cigarettes-arent-that-bad-after-all/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=cigarettes-arent-that-bad-after-all https://bkpk.me/cigarettes-arent-that-bad-after-all/#comments Tue, 05 Nov 2013 02:10:08 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=10092
Diwali is one of the biggest festivals in India, you could liken it to Christmas in the west or Eid in the middle east. It’s famously known as the festival of lights but like all festivals in this modern day and age it’s celebration has shifted from what it originally ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/cigarettes-arent-that-bad-after-all/feed/ 9 https://bkpk.me/we-were-on-our-way-to-the-post-office-when/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=we-were-on-our-way-to-the-post-office-when https://bkpk.me/we-were-on-our-way-to-the-post-office-when/#comments Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:04:05 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=8769
Oh, Incredible India, you never cease to amaze me! We were on our way to the post-office in Delhi when all of a sudden our car had to brake. No, it was not the usual traffic, where cars, bikes, cycles, autos, rickshaws, cows and pedestrians clog the streets. This time, ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/we-were-on-our-way-to-the-post-office-when/feed/ 6 https://bkpk.me/siesta-time/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=siesta-time https://bkpk.me/siesta-time/#comments Tue, 25 Jun 2013 05:31:25 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=8464
It’s New Delhi, the mercury’s hit 45 (113 for our American friends) and there are no customers because no one wants to venture outside. He looks left, he looks right and decides that this is his opportunity. It’s actually a good thing that he doesn’t have to pedal in this ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/siesta-time/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/holy-cow-its-a-self-service-milk-machine/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=holy-cow-its-a-self-service-milk-machine https://bkpk.me/holy-cow-its-a-self-service-milk-machine/#comments Fri, 08 Feb 2013 19:51:24 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=6194
One of the funny things about Delhi (and believe me, there are plenty of others!) is that this city is somehow a mix of modernity and rustic feeling. Many things make you feel like you’re indeed in the 21st century, while some others reminisce of simpler times.

There’s an old saying “If Mohammed will not go to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohammed.“ I’ve had one of the craziest days of my life today. It’s the 4th of November and right now, I’m writing this on a flight from Chennai to Mumbai. A flight that ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/well-the-mountain-didnt-come-to-me/feed/ 4
