Indian Mona Lisa
This photograph was taken in a village near Ajmer Road. I wanted to
photograph a very old lady with her wrinkled face but she objected.
I tried again but she started chasing me with a stick in her hand. This
young woman was
cooking in a hut and she came out after hearing
the commotion
created by the children who were enjoying the old lady running after
me. The moment I saw the great young beauty,
I remembered the Mona Lisa painting. I forgot about being hurt by the old
lady and took no time to capture the exciting moment.
I cannot compare the photo with the great painting but
a photograph if not manipulated is a real record of a fraction of a time;
while a painting is a painting which can be repainted any time as per once
wish.
