Faces of India – 338, from Bikaner Rajasthan

Faces of India

a series through which I intend to portray the various characters of my country whom I met during my travels. I bring back souvenirs, frozen moments from my travels, why not some memories of people I have met and interacted during the travels. Faces of India is a weekly series in my blog since MARCH 2011.

Faces of India Bikaner

A picture by chance! I clicked this during walking tour through streets around Rampuria Haveli in Bikaner, Rajasthan. The new houses that have come up are such a contrast. I was particularly surprised by one of the houses with concrete walls and metal windows. Suddenly a woman peeped out of the red window. Our eyes locked for a few seconds and we exchanged smiles. I was stunned for few seconds but then quickly recovered to click the moment.

Do you smile at strangers?

  • Nice composition!

  • i really love this picture… she looks so warm, and her smile is simply astonishing. do you believe that the result of photograph actually reflects how the taker perceives the object? i know you took the pic randomly, but did you take it because you think she’s beautiful as well? 🙂

    • No I don’t take pictures that way and in this case there was no time to analyze the subject. This was a spontaneous capture.
