Faces of India – 321, Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu
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.

Good that you sat and talked!
Dol baaje, dol baje dol!
He is still wondering and am sure must be wanting to ask you why you are doing what you are 😉
Nice portrait .
