The wide smiles and cheerful attitudes, veils all the hard work that goes into her day that starts much earlier before the city wakes up. Balancing the huge load on the head and making its way to the markets is poetry in motion. Reflecting the aspirations of a confident India, mobiles and computers have made inroads in their lives, helping them to stay in touch with their customers and dear ones at the sea. But beneath all these changes, she still is a woman- Kind and caring, hardworking and capable, experiencing joys and sorrows, having hopes and aspirations. Standing shoulder to shoulder in a man’s world. My sensitivities and inspirations have been shaped by my experiences with the community. Some of these thoughts have been expressed through lines and colours. In this journey, my attempt has been to bring out the “women” within the fisherwoman.
