Living with Books

This young book lover was browsing in the famed Sunday Book Bazaar of Old Delhi. He was carrying books in both the hands. He would walk for a while, then stop by a stall, check the books, buy them if they caught his fancy, or would move on. This continued for the better part of the bazaar. But towards the end he looked exhausted, and so he sat down on a stack of books. His tired feet rested on another stack. The scene was snapped at this moment.
