This is one of my so far the best I clicked. This was taken on my trekking trip to Sandhan Valley where I was just a virgin to trekking and there were group of 18 people including my mama who helped me in loosing my virginity. And I guess I am going to remember my suhagraat with mountains forever. Anyways lets not talk about my trekking trip because that’s not what I am about to write. I want to write about this rare photo atleast to me.
Well while looking at the photo creates so many illusion and thoughts in our mind. First reaction is what I got that the working conditions are too tough atleast for me. Sitting in the direct sun and just sieving sand from the stones almost all day is not easy as opposed to sitting in AC and working on PC/ Laptops and cribbing about the work all time.
I think that’s the first reaction which we will get whenever we see someone or meet someone we started comparing our life with the person whom we had met. And see who is at advantage. I sometimes do that and I am not ashamed of telling it because being born in a middle class family we have been conditioned to do that and take out the and be inspired to do better all the time. Never look back, be something, be an example so that others should follow you etc etc.
I think while I was clicking that photo why I clicked it, reasons cannot be explained just felt like to click it. And now I feel this man’s expression is just what you need to understand something about life.
The expression of the man is what appeals to me the most. The controlled facial expression mixed with a sense of indifference plus controlled smiling as to pose for a photo you have to do. No expression of comparison which we generally do as a habit, a sense of indifference mixed with a sense of self esteem is what I feel I can deduce from this photo.
In short this man existed to us and we could feel lucky to be born in a better condition which we think superfluously that we are atleast lucky than this poor guy. But if you look at him you don’t exists at all to him. It doesn’t matters to him form where you came and who you are. He just is not bothered with it at all. I have shot him at very close range which could offend anybody that you are taking his photo or may feel happy that this guy is taking my photo so starts posing and cheering up. But to him it doesn’t matter and the moment we turn our back he is back to work.
Though the communication in scientific language doesn’t happened between him and me but I guess he remained at the giving side and I as a poor fellow cant do nothing but to take it from him one of the biggest lessons in my life. And that lesson couldn’t be written down no matter how skilled you are in writing. It has to be felt from inside that the life is very simple why you idiots are complicating it more and more.
Anyways after writing I am still an idiot and lets see how much I have learnt from him without a single word of communication happening.
That only time will tell ..or why do you think time will tell, time has all the work in the whole world to do so don’t be bothered lets get back tour AC office and cushioned life.
i dont know what to say i am still in a process of exploring this pic.......anyways will not bor you more.....bye bye
