This shot, showing a streetside fireworks stall in Calcutta, was taken through the window of a moving car. For someone like me, who grew up in India, fireworks always evoke memories of the Hindu festival Diwali, when the nights were etched with spectacular sound-and-light displays. When I was a kid, the fact that I was Christian never dampened my enthusiasm for Diwali. My most vivid memory? The year when I actually caught the biggest prize of all - the scaled-down parachute and plastic figure of a skydiver that floated gracefully down from what we used to call a ``parachute bomb''.
