I was out clicking a few pictures near Albert Hall museum one Sunday morning, when I ventured out towards the park just behind the museum. Since the the roads are not open for traffic in early morning, I was sitting near the edge of the pathway and busy clicking pictures. Out appeared this man, who thought I was some journalist representing a newspaper.

As soon as my eyes met his, he asked me to take his picture. I obliged! When I was done, he demanded to have a look at his picture. After having a look, he asked for one more! I obliged -again! After showing him the recently clicked picture, I could read his happy mind. After all he was happy with the way he looked in this picture!

He probably assumed that his picture would be out in a newspaper soon, but who had a heart to admit the truth to a happy man? He was the gardener looking after this garden. He bid me goodbye with namaste and went back to his work.

Since his picture won’t make it to the newspaper, at least I can show him his picture on, someday!!
