Maharashtrian Lady

Finally a photo that I clicked outside of Sikkim! x)

This was a photograph that I had taken when my family and I had gone on a weekend trip to Lonavala, and were having lunch at a restaurant. I was waiting for my food to come just when I saw this lady sitting on the door of the restaurant not begging or seeking help. I was stunned by how wrinkled her face was so once again, I nervously went and asked the lady but didn't get any reaction. I asked again but the waiter at the restaurant told me she was partially blind, dumb and deaf so she sat here all day long because begging like this would be a risk for her. So they provided her with the leftover food. Hearing this, I was all the more interested capturing her. So I took her photograph and showed it to her. I don't know if she did really see the photo or not, but looking at her face, I felt she was happy. 

 

So here's another happy photo.
