Description:	An Indian in London looks at the cities she lives in and travels to, through the eyes of an urban planner/designer, and through the lens of her faithful camera - retelling the City in the true spirit of flânerie. ----------- The term 'Flâneur' (from the French male noun 'flâneur') refers to the 'wanderer', the 'loiterer', the 'stroller' in the City - the 'gentleman observer', in one sense and the 'voyeur', in another, who 'walks the City in order to experience it' (Charles Baudelaire). The flâneur played a key role in observing, recording and re-telling the City by writing and drawing it in mid 19th Century France. The Flâneur of the 21st Century is the street photographer. Curious, covert, yet honest, the modern flâneur trawls the City and tells the stories - the many legends, big and small, told and untold, hidden under its many layers. Urban Legends documents the stories by this modern day act of flânerie.
