My Scholarship entry - Life on the Old Delhi streets

Monsoon moods - The reflection of the Jama Masjid tomb, along with that of a rickshaw puller, is visible in a shallow pit in an Old Delhi street. Monsoon in India is a time of extremes, joys and hardships both. While the nice weather gives much needed respite from the long hard summer, rains spells doom for people whose life is dependent on the crowd on streets. The tomb is under repair while the rickshaw puller has to wait for passengers, who are in scarcity at this time of year.
