Some people and some moments uplift your mood..

..and her smile was one of those moments.

A vegetable seller at Malleswarm market. Other vendors requested me to click her. She was all smiling and a very pleasing lady. I wanted to bring back more smile to them by going back to the market the next day/week to hand over the prints to them, but landed up rushing to hospital the next day :)

What am I destined to be?

I saw this kid sitting in some thoughts when I crossed him. I had no intentions to click him, as I did not want to disturb him. But after some few moments when I crossed him again I found him looking at his hands as if studying the lines on his hands - giving me a feeling he was wondering where and what he is destined to be? Perhaps looking at his fate/luck lines? And that was the moment when I clicked a candid moment of him.

After clicking this one, he became aware of my presence, but still he did not react and I found him going further deep in thoughts. There was a bit of sadness in him. I wish I had the courage and also some good grasp on local dialect to be able to talk to him, but I had none and simply walked away feeling sad about him.

Though the situation is very different, but I still am not sure, where to draw the line? Perhaps one should leave people in their world, not disturb them and project them is the right thing to do. In that case, I would withdraw this post. Let me know what you think.
