I consider this photo a fantastic one because it catches the plight, hopelessness and face expressions of ‘be-zubaan’ (animals). Note the twig in master’s hand. Sad. I am however unsure if there are 4 monkeys or the photo is retouched to capture four instances of the same monkey. The road island in the background seems a bit disjointed.
‘mizaru, kikazaru, iwazaru’ in Japanese means ’see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil’. The source of this famous saying is a pictorial maxim on a door of the famous Tosho-gu shrine. The shrine is located in Nikko, Japan and door dates back to 17th century. The above photo reminded me of those ‘three wise monkeys’ (except here we have four). I named the 4th one awazaru because he looks pretty ‘awazar’ (bored).

They look like our Pakistani politicians,on TV Talk show
I agree with ayesha …
Monkey See Monkey Do. What is our excuse? Why do we with our so-called Pakistaniat and Islamiat always end up copying the worst traits and rituals from the non-Muslims and not their good traits and qualities?
But than again, except for the very wild monkeys, they don’t block your access unless you throw stones at them. It’s a pity! When will they ever learn?
why was the first thing that came to my mind when i saw the monkeys was the … ‘Pakistani awam’… specially the last one … awazaru !!
leashed, bored, expected to jump at every tug of the proprieters shackels .
Owais Mughal,
Well, of course we see corde, feet, the box, and the cute
pose of the must “tang pay Tang”, I think the idea was
to use one photo for three poses with both the hands
covering ears, eyes, and mouth, however they are
very.very cute and handsome, intelligent macacs.
You could have added a direction arrow of a
contradicting adress.
Khurram, yes I guess so too. the photo looks like 4 poses of the same monkey. I still liked it very much for the expressions they have and wanted to share.
The picture is doctored, and not very well at that. The original photo has only one monkey. There are plenty of cluses: spots on the road, the monkey’s collar, the leash apparently disapperaing into thin air, the yellow-and-black road divider in the back appearing oddly fragmented….
Ovais Mughal,
filbadih arz kia hay
Bander ka tamsha hay zara, ghaur say dekhain
Sumjha rehay hain kia, wo zara aqqle say samjhain
Adaab arz hay
