I was loitering in Korgaon one evening, taking in the languid rhythms of this rural corner of Goa, when I first spotted Ganulo ambling along on the village street. I trailed him firing off several frames without his knowledge before striking up an acquaintance. Ganulo is the nickname of Ghanashyam Dhond, a lifelong denizen of Korgaon. This nonagenarian belongs to both a time and a type that are now on the way out.

A few weeks later I was again in Korgaon and there he was, hunched over in the temple verandah.

Would love to hear his stories !
I wonder what would be his age? 100+???
Thanks.
I too love to hear about this man, his family, grand chidren etc
I guess he is in his mid or late 90′s
Wide gamut of grays. He hair does not appear to be all gray. I heard that one reason our hair turns white is on account of poor liver functioning.
the last pic looks grainy, at least on my computer screen…
Pradeep, yes, it was processed that way, to be more film-like.
