Meeting place for the shoot was Bagbazaar Bata. I am not sure if all reached on time; because I came late. :) When I reached the place which is just at stones throw distance from Bata; everybody was already inside and got busy in shooting.

The pet market mainly deals in all kinds of pets like puppies, birds, rabbits, fishes and some other stuffs too. Flowers and plants are at the other end; though you have so many. The first thing comes into mind seeing the market is VIBRANT. So many people, so many parallel transactions, bargains. So many varieties, so much for so cheap ... so lovely it is. I was not clicking though; watching much of it.

Others as I saw were busy as expected. To add, nobody from the merchants had any problems regarding our cameras. We made a chaos for sure; so huge today's group was.

After one hour or so, we walked down towards Maa Sarada's Home and found a beautiful old temple near sovabazaar metro crossing. Naba Brindaban, it is called. Rangan gave the pointer.

Before that we had a long session of group photo! :)
We had a colorful umbrella with us and someone took a sakhi type photo of mine... :(

We were expecting some portraits inside the temple premises, but found it very peaceful and not crowded as other temples in Kolkata. Maybe because it is inside a typical Kolkata residential area (para) or because it is early in the morning.

KWS photographers (:-P) as you know are enthusiastic lot. People tried out wide angles lying down and putting their camera inside the grills. (guys, please post photo if you have captured this activity!)..

Called it a day after this. Guys, please post your photographs and complete the report.
Pls TAG your photo KWSPETMARKET070908.
