It has always been intriguing (and disappointing) to see a gendered claim of certain spaces in the city. This photo essay is a basket of such observations collected over time from the places I have lived in or travelled to. As I look through the lens of gender, I remember a remark by a gender studies researcher- --women are always in transit mode. They are not seen idling on streets and nukkads like men. They do not take afternoon naps on benches in parks. In fact, they are seldom seen 'enjoying' the city as much as their male counterparts.
