I was at Delhi Haat today. Perfect flavour of traditional and contemporary Indian culture permeated the market as usual. But I was not here to shop, I was looking for some offbeat clicks for my camera and off the several I clicked, this one seems to stand out.
I never saw this statue alone. Even the first time I noticed it, it was in conjunction with the chaos around it. It immediately came to my mind that if I pick this statue of Buddha from the place where its sitting right now, its immediately going to loose its magnificence. I would not want to take the Buddha home and keep it on some quite corner of my house. The chaos at the backdrop actually accentuate the meditative pose of Buddha. As if he is reiterating one of his famous sayings..... CHAOS IS INHERENT IN ALL COMPOUNDED THINGS. STRIVE ON WITH DILIGENCE.
