This image was taken on Tank Bund Road in Secunderabad, Hyderabad, where the city winds down into golden light and evening buzz. As the sun sets, the street comes alive — couples, families, and strollers gather to enjoy the breeze and the view of Hussain Sagar Lake.

On my recent visit, I noticed many sellers carrying vibrant, glowing balloons — weaving between heavy traffic or waiting patiently on the sidelines.
Some dart boldly through the chaos to make a sale.
Others, like her, simply pause… watching the world blur past in motion and light.

In the midst of noise and movement, she becomes a moment of quiet.
