No Tangles, Just Bangles

Nice Angles, For Mister Bojangles

I love the vibrant colours of India. This shot shows an array of glass bangles (called ``churis'') at a roadside stall in Calcutta. As someone who grew up in India, I can still ``hear'' the distinctive sound of bangles on women's arms. These ones caught my eye because they were so neatly arrayed, in regimented colours along cardboard dividers. I've never seen bangles sell so fast, nor have I seen stocks replenished so rapidly. My favourite picture of bangles, however, can be seen at Star-Bangled Spanner.
