Portrait # 6

She may be only one among the 20 million people who call Bombay home, but that doesn't take away from her individuality. She is 'She'.

  13. Thank you all. Strangely, I was not even trying to take a picture of the lady. It was the stall that I liked, and which I tried to photograph, but her intense eyes drew me in, and I had to crop out the rest.
    Wonder what stories she could tell if anyone cares to ask her and if she has the time to tell.

    Yvonne,lovely quote that.
