durban, south africa

durban is an south african (/indian) city. if you go there, people will say do not walk after six o'clock. they will also warn you about how horrible and unworthy people can be there. most of people you'll talk with will agree that no one should take pictures in durban, especially in down town. many durbanese will be shocked if you mention that you took your bag with you while walking in victoria street. this city's people have taken overdose of paranoia and it is trying to paralyze durban from inside. when the traffic lights change to red, you keep walking or driving a car until a crash occurs.

durban is a staggering thief which scratches clouds. she stole my lungs and now i cannot breath without her.

these pictures are trying to be a proof of her enchanting personality - don't be fooled - she is even more awe-inspiring and astonishing with all the skyscrapers which do reach never-snowing clouds.



i. durban keeping herself awake, swimming in the pool of city lights. you see her smiling?



ii. i think that the sunsets of durban are the most beautiful sunsets ever.



iii. and the previous statement applies here, too.



iv. a different side of durban – no skyscrapers but still, amazing.



vii. again durban, swimming in the light.



viii. a partial heart of durban. her heart is awe-inspiring, trust me, trust her.



ix. another part of her heart. i would love to show more but i simply did not have enough of courage to take more pictures.



x. indian south africans selling spices at victoria market. oh my, her accent was so so so nice, so indian and british at the same time. gosh.



xi. masalas. colorful like india.



xii. the biggest mosque in the southern hemisphere. it is quite beautiful outside, i'd like too see it from inside too.



xiii. these little streets reminded me of shimla, my mom's hometown. oh.



xiv. victoria street market from outside, it is the left building. love.



xv. again a piece of her awe-inspiring heart. ohmy.



xvii. when you walk in the streets of durban, you wonder what if...



xviii. please tell me, i can go see this once again.



xix. i'd like to swim in the lights.
