Banaras: More First Floors

These images, unlike the previous post on the topic, are from the lanes, to be precise one lane (with respects to Thomson and Thompson)

Aging with grace? Fading away? Or hanging by a thread? 

Varying brick sizes and shapes? Or a tree taking over? Or dark lines on the horizon? 

A balcony with waves? 

Its neighbours are being repurposed as hotels. 

Does it eagerly await its turn? Or does it dread the loss of peace? 

How does HE see the changes? 

Is the window partially open to allow only partial changes? 

The lane's width ensures that one is either on two feet or on two wheels!

Should we have trips for children to obverse where their elders lived? To see homes that are disappearing from our midst!
