Faces of India – 193 Shepherd on NH4 near Goa
A shepherd boy along NH4. His flock of sheep had managed to hold up fast moving traffic for long causing a jam along the national highway. The little boy startled to see his sheep being photographed and then of him. It took him some time to compose himself and return a smile to me.
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.

Nice photo!
A young shepherd…..
Good capture Indrani..
You sure got him by surprise! 🙂
Early age responsibility…
Innocence turning to maturity …
u have captured the boy's mood perfectly
Good Click.
And You know these shepherds travel down from higher mountains in HP and Jammu once the winters start and keep on traveling for entire 4-6 months downhill. They start returning once the winters starts to end in the plains and try to reach their hill s by April-May.
And your lines made ME smile. 🙂
He looks so familiar….That is because I have encountered so many such lads with herd of sheep in front of our car while traveling.
Responsibility at such young age….!
Innocence that will soon learn the way of this world..
Sweet looking boy and look what a jam he caused!
The innocence of such young boys and girls working at a tender age is truly the gift of God…. A very inspiring Photo… Best Wishes!
Responsibility at such a tender age! Great!
Must be quite a challenging task for him to take those sheep across the road. Hats off.. Nice pic 🙂
Handsome boy.
He does look concerned. I wonder what he thought of you, initially.
Should thank him to providing such a sight despite holding the traffic for sometime… many do not get chances like this unless took off their eyes from the mobiles. Nice shot
Hope everything is fine with your trip.
That would be a hard job getting the whole herd quickly across the highway. Poor boy. Wish I could have helped bring up the rear.
A picture of maturity,confidence and innocence at such a young age.Great picture.
Happy New Year 2015 !
Beautiful, Indrani
