Trying to be misunderstood

"Trying to be misunderstood,

Just a product of my childhood,

Still I find myself outside,

You can’t say I haven’t tried,

Perhaps I tried to hard,

No excuses,

I Won’t apologise,

To justify your lies,

Come find me,

Tell them to me,

Look me in the eyes

 

I’ll be misunderstood,

By the beautiful and good in this city,

None of this was planned,

Take me by the hand,

just don’t try and understand..."

 

I took this picture of Anand a few weeks ago on the upper terrace of my office in Varanasi (Benaras).

Anand is a majhi (hindi word for boatman), I know him since a few years and he often meets me for photo cessions which allow him to talk about his favorite topic, the day when he'll make enough money in order to get his beautiful girlfriend's mother approval for their wedding.
