Lost in some thoughts!!

It was one of those hot afternoon of Orissa and I was on my way to Phulbani. Our bus halted at an isolated place. I felt relived as because it was so hot and the bus was over packed, I really needed some fresh air.
I came out and looked around, the whole placed looked dry,empty & lifeless. There I saw this old women sitting alone to one side of the road and selling green chilies,dry chilies, garlic,ginger,lemon & mangoes. They looked fresh but no body brought anything from her. It seemed as if her business has not yet started but she was patience. I waited for some time hoping this bus might bring some relief to her wrinkled face but it did not, our bus gave the final horn and passengers climbed up to their respective seats before leaving, I gave a final look to see if there was anything of my use but couldn't find anything and I did not feel like questioning her self respect so I moved ahead leaving her alone with a respect for her and many questions in my mind.

"Raw Emotions"

Though, all photographs are close to the heart of a photographer and I’m no different, yet we all have our own favorites!!! In this series, my favorite is the mother & son shot. When I saw the kid running while rolling the cycle tires ahead of him, I knew I’ve to capture it, and I immediately took out my cell phone, but unfortunately or fortunately the kid became aware & started running in the other direction holding his tiers……… hey buddy, I’m not going to steal your tiers, I just want a shot. He ran and hided behind his mother who in return stared at me with full suspicion, as if she was saying, “stay away from my child or else…………”.
Zoom in and you will get a better view of their expressions, the mother looking suspiciously at me and the boy’s innocent face. This appealed me so much that I clicked both of them.

Later when I narrated the story to my girl friend showing her the photograph, I asked her, “Do I look like a kidnaper……or a thief”?
She looked into my eye and said, “Yes dear, your are the thief who has stolen my heart”.

Quite filmy!!!!
