Those haunting eyes...

Sometimes you take a picture and it becomes really special to you only much later in life. This is one such picture of a little girl I briefly met at the Pushkar Mela a few years back.

The girl with the haunting gaze...

She was walking with her younger brother who was dressed up as little Krishna and every photographer's delight. As the little Krishna posed for everyone, I could see her looking away longingly. I found everything about her far more fascinating, and reached out for a quick chat. As no one was interested in her, we had a few quick moments together as I asked her a few questions. I quickly forgot her name but her haunting eyes stayed back.

Much later on one fine day I remembered her out of blue, searched for her image and found it sitting quietly in a folder. I was as intrigued as I was before and so decided to edit it a little and share it.

So what do you think? What could her eyes be saying?

    1. Searching for answers for sure...I guess that would connect both her and me. I am also always looking for answers (sometimes for questions also) :)
