Photo Essay – The Delhi Beards, Around Town
The hairy portraits.
[Text and photos by Mayank Austen Soofi]
The Delhi Walla is a keen devotee of the beards of Delhiwallas. Some men, thanks to their long flowing beards, look like spiritual brothers of Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy. A few beards look as grey and melancholic as that of Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal emperor. One tailor in Hazrat Nizamuddin Basti looks like a twin of Vietnamese statesman Ho Chi Minh. I’m still looking for a Lenin.
