Eco Friendly Transport – Exploring Abu Dhabi Through Clicks and Writes

Eco Friendly Transport – a utility cycle displayed at the Friday Market at Masdar City. This seems to be very convenient for village use for children and adults. Its pack weight is approximately 18 kgs and costs about AED 600/+ in Abu Dhbai.
A tempting display.

Mind Speaks – Golden Music from a life without vision

Mind Speaks – Golden Music from a life without vision


  

I see this blind couple every day during my walk towards the bus stop and railway station at Whitefield, Banglore. Both are blind and earn a meager income by singing songs and bhajans on the street. By now, they have a fixed stretch of their own world connecting the Railway Station and the bus station. 

The music is simple, rhythmic and slow. I make it a point, a stop for a minute, watch them, listen to them whenever I pass by. It gives me an unknown joy and also in turn a minute of relaxation and stillness in my life.

I am getting to know them more and they too.

Enjoy a few precious seconds from one such stop.
