Faces Of Jodhpur
One of my earliest posts on this blog dealt with my fascination for the ‘people of my places‘:
Nothing’s changed! As you can see from this sequel to my ‘Colours Of Jodhpur‘
A tonga (horse carriage) wallah with presence!
A heart-breaker in the bazaar….
And his nervous mum. She wasn’t sure hubby would approve, but he did!
Busker in the Mehrangarh fort
Whose demure wife was too shy to pose for me.
You might remember that arm piece!
A rather street smart and utterly captivating little rag picker.
Adore that nose-ring! And the red ‘Odhni’.
Until next time…….happy travels, no matter where life takes you.

some happy faces 🙂
Yes, these were some of the happiest I have come across on my travels Joshi 🙂
Absolutely beautiful pictures. The portraits, wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank YOU for your visit and comment cecilia. Happy Sunday!
Such lovely portraits, Madhu. There isn’t the slightest hint of hesitation on their face..beautifully done!
Thank you Uday. I have never had such willing subjects before! 🙂
Hubby wouldn’t approve of what? Of you taking a pic of her? :O
That rag picker girl is so so so very adorable! Man!
Love looking at such pictures of people from around the world. 🙂 I hardly click pics of people, though, because I get too conscious and shy to ask them for permission to click. The best of such shots are the ones that are clicked naturally, without posing – and that doesn’t happen when you ask for permission or get conscious. But then, it seems unethical to click people without their permission either. How do you manage?
Yes, they were very happy to have the son photographed, but when I asked if I could have her picture, she worriedly looked towards her husband as if to ask him for permission until he nodded assent. I do not click portraits without permission.
Gorgeous photos. I have been slowly warming up to strangers that I meet to ask them if I can take their pictures. I would love to be able make a post like this someday. 😊
You will, with practice. I was just as wary at first. Thank you for stopping by to share your thoughts Josie.
The “rag picker” is a striking natural beauty, and the heart-breaker already stole my heart 😉 I have a little story I wish to share with you Madhu. I was in Lisbon this May, and one night due to crazy wind in a restaurant in Belem we all had to move in the interior of that small restaurant. There I shared a table with a mature French couple and we had a nice chat. They have seen a lot more of the world than me and hubby and I asked them – what was your favourite country and they replied unanimously: l’Inde. I had a zillion questions of course about heat, food, etc. and they answered all of my questions and as the reason why they loved India so much they uttered – only there we saw children with real happiness in their eyes. These portraits prove them right.
Isn’t she gorgeous? I have noticed too Paula that the lesser they have the happier they seem! The privileged classes sadly lose that capacity for joy as their aspirations increase.
True
Your pictures have great impact. Comes out lively!
Beautiful faces. I especially liked the photo of the little girl. How angelic. 🙂
Very cools pics

It is often pretty amusing to just sit and observe people. And guess what? The result is here on this beautiful and captivating blog post! I never realized the simplicity in someone’s face can tell so many stories about them! Very impressed by this blog! Keep it up.
