‘The balloons made me smile but his expression made me stop’: Harivansh Verma’s best phone picture - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It had been a sacred day for Harivansh Verma. It was the evening of Ganga Dussehra, the major Hindu celebration and gathering along the banks of the Ganges.

It was a warm June day in Brighton and the pair were playing tourists in their own city, having just visited an upside-down house near the i360 observation tower.
