Rendezvous in the Rain
A lone tree leans toward the sea along Mumbai’s seafront as rain drifts across the horizon. Under its branches, a couple stands mid‑conversation, their silhouettes small against the blank sky, while another figure bends over an umbrella in the foreground. In black and white, the everyday scene becomes a quiet study of distance, intimacy and shelter on a stormy day. While looking artsy, this picture is more about conversations and turbulence in relationships and hence I feel it is a "people" category photo. It is about people trying to hold onto relations in the pressures of a urban fast paced city
