Here is PV at the railway station . I was hoping to take some photos of her in the thick of the crowd-but things didn't go well for me. First, I was told photography is prohibited at this heritage site, second, there were too many cops around to catch me. I thought of the intrepid war correspondents ready to die . So I went ahead with my little Canon digital. PV is trying to call me, I am trying to take the photo and keeping an eye on the women cops . Result: a blur. I forgot to turn on the flash! "You looked part of the crowd," I said, for PV's head suddenly failed to stand out. "That's not such a good thing, is it?" replied PV. A PV head and fashionable gear is a rare find on a railway platform. Monks, pilgrims and widows don't look like PV and cohort. The model in this photo shoot was cooperative, the photographer callow. The best photo of this station was taken by the great Brazilian, Sebastiao Salgado. Do check him out.
