Amidst the crowd, celebration, dance and music, I was trying to figure where the rest of the guys are.....and I saw Zoosh was being TOSSED up in the air...

I tried to take a photo but kana blocked. by the dancing people around me....:cry:

near sri hanumangari ghat, guys who are elated and show off their gynastic abilities and even take repeated jumps off a platform that i think is about 3-10m high. frankly speaking, it is not the desired effect to catch him in super wide. if possible i will like a closer tele shot, however, that is too fast for my shutter. i ended up with freezing of multiple moments, with this one just before entering the water, almost like practicing yoga and what the chinese called qingting dianshui (dragonfly on the water)

You have different style from Binbento but equally impressive. You seem to bring out the best in people that you capture.

Much appreciated buddy.

i think he's a better shooter than me, esp in terms of street candids. my composition and handheld ability is sometimes suboptimal

Bro Zoossh,
The blackish thing under the baby's eyes is called Kohl in English. In Hindi, its called Kajal.

Check these two links for more details...

http://www.gurjari.net/ico/Mystica/html/kajal.htm

Most Indians are a superstitious lot (now, don't flame me on that please. I said most, not all). If a baby is beautiful and healthy and others look at the baby and comment "how cute !!! What a healthy baby !!!" etc., the parents think that an 'evil' eye is being cast on the baby. By applying kohl on the rims of the eyelids, it helps ward off the 'evil' eye. Sometimes, its also applied as a big dot either on the side of the forehead or on the cheek.

It is claimed that applying Kohl to the rims of the eyelids has some medicinal value. It acts as a coolant and also helps rid of the germs and dirt etc. that gets into the eyes. I don't know how far its true.

For a list of other popular Indian superstitions, just do a google search and you will find tonnes of them.

Cheers.
