This is one of my favorite photos that I shot during my tour in the subcontinent: an Indian woman of strong personality in her traditional Indian clothing ‘sari’, wearing an expression on her face, worry, concern and curiosity over something she was looking at. We were in a ‘forest park’ this time. I like photos like this, one depicting how the people live in their everyday lives in some part of the world foreign to us. It’s beautiful, and colorful, for me it is priceless.

Namashtè. Now meet Paul the driver. He was a good driver, and patient too, for a tourist like me. He was ‘educating’ me about what he knew of India and the landmarks that were seeing. I appreciated it. there is nothing better than learning it from the local people. Of course we communicated by English language.
