Veneto, Italy: The tiny Posina lake and mountains reflected in its waters. The lake is created by a spring and it continues as the small Posina river.

वेनेतो, इटलीः छोटी सी पोज़ीना झील और उसमें झलकते पहाड़. झील वहाँ धरती से निकलने वाले स्रोत से बनी है और छोटी सी नदी में उसका जल निकल जाता है.

Veneto, Italia: Il piccolo lago di Posina e le montagne che rispecchiano nelle sue acque. Il lago nasce da una fonte sotterranea e continua come un piccolo fiume.

Cambridge, UK: One morning along the Cam river, tied between the banks - like a naughty girl whose mother has tied her hair into a tight plait, only in some places, as if just awake with her hair mussed up ...

कैम्ब्रिज, ब्रिटेनः एक सुबह किनारों में बँधी कैम नदी के किनारे - नदी मानो शरारती लड़की हो जिसकी माँ ने कस कर चोटी बाँध दी हो, बस कुछ जगहों पर ऐसी जैसे सुबह नींद से जागी हो, खुले बालों के साथ ...

Cambridge, Inghilterra: Una mattina lungo il fiume Cam legata tra le rive - come una ragazza giocherellona alla quale la mamma ha fatto una treccia stretta, solo in alcuni posti era come appena svegliata con i cappelli disordinati ...

Kamrup district, Assam, India: At Mazgumi you can get a boat for going to the 20-25 inhabited islands in Brahmaputra river. Life on the islands is tough as the state services like electricity and health care are not available there. Every year during the rainy seasons, they get flooded. Today's images have the river bank at Mazgumi.

जिला कामरूप, असम, भारतः मज़गूमी से ब्रह्मपुत्र नदी के बीच बसे 20-25 द्वीपों के लिए नावें मिलती हैं. नदी के द्वीपों पर रहने वालों के जीवन कठिन हैं क्योंकि अधिकतर सरकारी जनसुविधाएँ वहाँ तक नहीं पहुँचती जैसे बिजली, चिकित्सा आदि. बारिश के दिनों में वहाँ के घर बाढ़ में डूब जाते हैं. आज की तस्वीरों में मज़गूमी से  नदी का तट.

Distretto di Kamrup, Assam, India: A Mazgumi puoi prendere la barca per andare alle 20-25 isole abitate in mezzo al fiume Brahmaputra. La vita sulle isole non è facile perché non hanno i servizi statali come la corrente elettrica o i servizi sanitari. Ogni anno durante la stagione delle piogge le isole vanno sotto acqua. Le immagini di oggi hanno la riva del fiume a Mazgumi.

Assam, India: We had gone to that island in the river Brahmaputra with a boat clinic. He had just come out of the river, mud coating his face and chest. Why did you cover yourself with mud, I asked him many times, but he did not answer.

असम, भारतः हम लोग ब्रह्मपुत्र नदी के उस द्वीप पर एक नाव क्लिनिक के साथ गये थे. वह तभी नदी से निकल रहा था, मुँह तथा छाती मिट्टी से लिपे हुए थे. क्यों लगायी इस तरह से मिट्टी, मैंने कई बार पूछा पर उसने उत्तर नहीं दिया.

Assam, India: Eravamo andati su quell'isola del fiume Brahmaputra con una nave clinica. Lui era appena uscito dal fiume, con la terra sulla faccia e sul torace. Perché ti sei coperto di terra, gli ho chiesto più volte ma lui non mi ha risposto.

Guwahati, Assam, India: Una brezza piacevole, il crescente buio serale, i cieli coperti dalle nuvole monsoniche e le barche con le luci accese, tutto era così romantico!

Guwahati, Assam, India: I had seen the huts on the river Brahmaputra while passing from there in a bus and had thought that those were the houses of fishermen. When I went there I found that it was the place of bamboo sellers. Bamboos are brought there from the north through the river. Huts of the poor, traditional Assamese houses or concrete apartments, here bamboo is used in all kinds of construction.

गुवाहाटी, असम, भारतः वहाँ से गुज़रते समय बस से ब्रह्मपुत्र नदी के किनारे बनी झोपड़ियों को देख कर सोचा था कि अवश्य मछुआरों के घर होंगे. पास जा कर देखा तो मालूम चला कि वह बाँस बेचने वालों की बस्ती है. बाँस उत्तरी असम से नदी से लाये जाते हैं. गरीबों की झोपड़ियाँ हों, पाराम्परिक घर हों या आधुनिक काँक्रीट के एपार्टमैंट, यहाँ बाँस हर जगह काम आते हैं.

Guwahati, Assam, India: Avevo visto le capanne lungo il fiume Brahmaputra mentre passavo da quelle parti in autobus e avevo pensato che erano le case dei pescatori. Invece è la zona dei venditori di bambù. I bambù arrivano dal nord tramite il fiume. Che siano le capanne dei poveri, le case assamesi tradizionali o i moderni appartamenti di cimento, il bambù si usa per tutte le costruzioni da queste parti.

Himachal Pradesh, India: As we reached closer to Kullu, life along the Beas river became more intense.

कुल्लू, हिमाचल प्रदेशः जैसे जैसे कुल्लू शहर के पास पहुँचे, बियास नदी के किनारे जीवन बढ़ने लगा.

Tezpur, Assam, India: I had heard the name of this city in 1962 when my maternal uncle had come here during the India-China war. I had formed an image of this city in my mind. Yesterday when I came here for the first time, thinking about those old memories I was so thrilled. Today's images have sunset on Brahmaputra river in Tezpur.

तेज़पुर, असम, भारतः इस शहर का नाम 1962 में सुना था जब मेरे मामा यहाँ भारत-चीन युद्ध के दौरान आये थे. तब से मन में एक छवि सी बनी थी इस शहर की. कल जब यहाँ पहली बार आया तो पुरानी यादों के बारे में सोच कर रोमन्चित हो रहा था. आज की तस्वीरों में तेज़पुर में ब्रह्मपुत्र नदी पर सूर्यास्त.

Tezpur, Assam, India: Avevo sentito il nome di questa città nel 1962 quando mio zio materno era stato qui durante la guerra tra India e Cina. Mi ero costruito un'immagine di questa città nella mia testa. Ieri quando sono arrivato qui per la prima volta, pensando a quei vecchi ricordi, mi sentivo emozionato. Le immagini di oggi hanno il tramonto sul fiume Brahmaputra a Tezpur.

Islands in Brahmaputra river, Guwahati, Assam, India - Images by Sunil Deepak, 2014

Guwahati, Assam, India: There are different islands of pristine shining fine white sand in the Brahmaputra river, where occasional tourists arrive, but there are no hordes. In many countries, such places are "developed" as tourist resorts, however I prefer this incontaminated non-tourist version!

गुवाहाटी, असम, भारतः ब्रह्मपुत्र नदी में सुन्दर स्वच्छ चमकती हुई महीन सफेद बालू के विभिन्न द्वीप हैं, जहाँ इक्का दुक्का लोग घूमने के लिए पहुँच जाते हैं लेकिन वहाँ पयर्टकों की भीड़ नहीं. ब्राज़ील, इटली, थाईलैंड जैसे देशों में इस तरह की जगहें पर्यटक रिसोर्ट बन कर "विकसित" हैं लेकिन मुझे इस जगह का यही पर्यटक विहीन स्वच्छ रूप बेहतर लगा!

Guwahati, Assam, India: Vi sono diverse isole nel fiume Brahmaputra con della sabbia bianca luccicante e molto fine, dove arrivano pochi turisti e mancano le folle. In molti paesi, spesso luoghi simili sono "sviluppati" per i turisti, ma personalmente preferisco questa versione incontaminata e non turistica.

Sleeping boats - Barche addormentate - सोयी नावें

Varanasi, India: Probably the persons sleeping in open boats are as poor as the persons forced to sleep on the footpaths of big cities, but may be in the boat floating on the waves there is a sensation of a mother rocking her child?

वाराणसी, भारतः खुली नाव में सोने वाले शायद महानगरों में फुटपाथ पर सोने वाले जैसे ही गरीब होते हैं, लेकिन शायद लहरों के साथ हिचकोले खाती नाव में माँ की ममता की थपकी होती है?

Varanasi, India: Forse le persone che dormono nelle barche aperte sono povere come quelle costrette a dormire sui marciapiedi delle metropoli, ma che nelle barche sulle onde, vi è la sensazione di una mamma che dondola il bimbo?

Old bridges - Ponti vecchi - पुराने पुल

Old bridges, Docks, London, UK - Images by Sunil Deepak, 2011

Old bridges, Docks, London, UK - Images by Sunil Deepak, 2011

London, UK: When new cities come up to replace the old ones, I love it when old but beautiful heritage buildings are saved and are integrated into the new. London docks is one such example. There, in between the gleaming skyscrappers, you can see old buildings and bridges, thus the thread between the old and the new histories is not broken.

लँडन, ब्रिटेनः जब पुराने शहर की जगह पर नये शहर बनते हैं तो पुराने सुन्दर भवनों आदि को नष्ट न होने देना और उन्हें नये में समन्वय करना मुझे बहुत अच्छा लगता है. लँडन की बँदरगाह पर ऐसा ही हुआ है. वहाँ नये चमकते गगनचुम्बी भवनों के बीच आप को पुराने भवन व पुल भी दिख जाते हैं, और पुराने तथा नये इतिहास का तार नहीं टूटता.

Londra, Inghilterra: Quando si costruiscono nuove città per sostituire quelle vecchie, mi piace quando i vecchi edifici storici e belli sono preservati e integrati nel nuovo contesto. Il porto di Londra ne è un esempio. Là tra i nuovi grattacieli luccicanti, potete vedere vecchie case e ponti, così il filo che collega la vecchia alla nuova storia non si rompe.
