Thankfulness

"Woman I can hardly express,

My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness,

After all I'm forever in your debt,

And woman I will try express,

My inner feelings and thankfulness,

For showing me the meaning of succsess, ..."

This is one more portrait of a lady met I met in a little village nearby Lucknow, the capital of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

She is making traditional Chikan embroidery.

The village shelters Hindus and Muslims families living together in harmony, everyone knew I was coming in order to take pictures and they were wearing make-up and their favourite saris.

I took many portraits of those ladies and their children, it was a very happy moment.

As I said in the comment of my previous picture this lady was shy in the begining and little by little she felt easy.

She gifted her beauty to my camera and I left this place with my heart filled with thankfulness.
