The Road-Side Electrician Shop

38 years old Chirodeep Chaudhuri is the national photo-editor of Time Out Bombay, Delhi and Bangalore.
His personal work is built and focused on one of his favorite cities: Bombay.
I asked him to choose a picture from his portfolios. He selected this photograph of a road-side electrician shop in black and white.
The subject of this photograph is thrown into abstraction with the lens of the camera being singularly focused on the "window-display" of this eclectic collection of electronic goods. The only slim reference to this being an ordinary sight in the street of Bombay is the shop shutter visible on the left.
It also reads as a pictoral allegory of the dense, overlaping, pushling and jostling city of Bombay.
