I went around areas around my house to see where people were actually sitting.
I found plenty of people sitting on benches and plenty of people not.
note: the point of my research is not to test where people in Delhi sit, just to look at what people do when they're on a bench.
- A place for a conversation
- Waiting for the bus
- Chabutras, the traditional answer to public seating
- waiting outside a hair salon
- Vatika park, Vasant kunj, I have been to this park often, I have hardly ever, if ever have seen people sitting here.
- Private conversations in hidden places
- Chairs lying out in a plaza
- Migrant workers
- A little above the ground on the back side of a parking
- Mother not wanting child to stray too far
- Man looking at the people around
- Taking a break from work
- Seating and grass and steps in one
- lounging seats
- permanent seating outside dlf promenade
- This can't happen on a bench easily
- The back side of the PVR Priya complex in Vasant Vihar has an empty forgotten fountain, which, come evening, is surrounded by people coming to sit on it's hard to reach ledge
- 10 meters away is some well made seating, which remains empty as it leads to a park, well known for it's illegal goings on.
- Things that can affect a seat can be much bigger than what we see at first glance
- Large seating area now mostly blocked by shops
- Evidence of seating
- There is enough seating upstairs in McDs, but some people prefer to go to the takeout counter and eat on the seating outside.
- Unrepaired construction damage is common on most pavements, including the fronts of most pavements.
- The women notice the intrusion into their space
- merely waiting for their children to be dropped home by the school bus
- Inside Vasant kunj colonies
- Old habits die hard
- A forgotten bench in a forgotten park
- Two men enjoying lunch in the park
- Nothing beats the grass
- The english bench, thousands of miles away from home
- Can't always remain so proper.
- Assimilation
- Lovers demanding some privacy
- Cast system on a bench? White collar and women standing in front, blue collar sit on the bench, migrant workers sit on the pavement behind.
- Advertising space
- Stages of deterioration
- Broken, but standing
- Does this still count as a bench? Confused much
- Delhi Metro Bench
- Rebel sitter
Haha , loved it
