A photograph of a crowded street-front building in a Tamil Nadu town, with a multi-storey façade hung with tangled electrical wires. Several shop signboards are visible, including a large banner for T.C. Electronics & Computers advertising colour TV, DVD players, DTH receivers, computer systems and monitors, and a dark sign for M.D. Mani Electronics. A steep set of concrete steps leads up to a barred entrance, beside a shuttered yellow shop front and a torn poster for a tuition or coaching centre. No people are clearly visible apart from a figure partly inside the doorway beside a parked bicycle.
