Subtle Smile
Have been on and off from flickr a little but trying to catch up as always :-).
This time I have something different to upload, different in ways that I went out of my usual way of clicking photos. This was the first time I was out on street with the camera and approached someone asking for their permission to click, which was really enriching. She was selling some toys on one of the red light signals in Hyderabad, India. I also learned about her past and where she actually came from, it was indeed an enriching experience for me.
I had some mixed feelings of that of joy and sorrow while clicking this shot. It made me salute the spirit with which she is trying to make the ends meet, with a smile, and at the other I realized that there is another side to a red light signal. For people travelling on vehicles the red light signal is just a stopover, causing delays in their life, and for people like these it is chance to make their living. An irony of situation and what one thing can mean totally different things to different people.
I wish we all could keep an upbeat mood, as she did, no matter what the circumstances are. All I could do was just salute to her spirit to live life to the fullest.
