Faces of India - 57


When I requested for a picture, she asked me to wait. She went and got her sheep and putting her arm around it she posed. She was a little stiff, and she insisted on seeing how the picture turned out. Seeing it she nodded her head in approval and then gave a smile.

Faces of India, a series through which I intend to portray the various characters of my country. See more here.

Oh, sweet indeed! I love her sheep and what a beautiful face and eyes she has! I love your series, too, as I've told you before! Wonderful people and a wonderful look at your/their country. Have a lovely weekend, Indrani!

Once I was lost in a forest and met a woman having sheep, she gave me fresh milk and showed me the way.

Thank you for the memories and this wonderful picture.
