Faces of India – 126 Smiling People of Hills
3 smiling men! This picture was taken in Solan, Himachal Pradesh. Whenever I look at this picture I feel convinced that the people of hills are happy people. The picture was taken from a distance, they knew I was clicking them and they had this spontaneous smiles on their faces.
Faces of India,
Faces of India is 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. See more here…
people of HP and Uttarakhond are always in smiling mood they are seldom angry or frown at you. Many of them saved me and our field party while working in the tough terrains of HP and Uttarsakhond.
