I love walking down the streets and observing the life within. These streets speaks so much about the place and the people. Filled with rhythms of everyday life, they have a certain dynamism and energy associated with them and you see a different frame each time you pass through them. These streets just act as an extension to the neighbourhood – the boundary between inside and outside becomes blurry.

I took this photograph on one such street in the walled city of Jaisalmer, house wall acting as a makeshift shop. Jaisalmer is probably the only “living” fort in India. As per latest surveys the fort is crumbling because of increasing tourist pressure – it wasn’t build to handle such an influx of tourists. It’s advised not to stay inside the fort if you care about the heritage.
