The Face In The Mirror

"Time is like a barber, it shears you first and then shows you your own face in the mirror. (Marrying Nusrat)"

(From "Another Man's Wife" by Manjul Bajaj)

 

There is a barber on the stairs of Dashashwamedh Ghat, the main ghat on the Ganges River in Varanasi (Benaras).

He is using the wall of the Jantar Mantar (the observatory) where he is hanging a mirror each time he comes to work.

In this mirror I can see the face of his clients whenever I am passing by…
