Example Image

It was while I was redoing the Bombay76 website (www.bombay76.com) when I came across this picture. I needed some sample pictures to test my product slide-show on the Bombay76 website, and randomly started searching for some good ones on Google.

Incidentally, my playlist was crooning the "Radio Ga Ga" number by the ohhhsome Freddie Mercury (Queen), so I thought, "Let's put 'Radio' as my keyword."
And then, this pic caught my eye!

This picture is so, so beautiful! The cracks in the wall, the radio, and the lovely pink-colored saree!

But the best part about this picture is the human element - that rural woman, to me, seems as if she's the happiest person on the earth with not a single care in the world! You know what ... it just doesn't look like a pretentious smile ... and I know about pretentious smiles since I have always had a tough time getting a half-decent picture of me being clicked ... !

This smile is not something that comes as a response to the photographer's "Say Cheese!" request. No ... it's something more than a mere response ... it's reciprocation ... a natural, equivalent reaction to the sniper's enthusiasm to shoot this lady!

A simple, no-fuss photograph which radiates innocence. This lady is probably one of the most photogenic ladies I may have seen. The picture was borrowed from unicef.org.
