Theme for this week:
After browsing through my archive for quite some time, this is the pic which appealed to me, more than any other! This was shot on our way to a village near Kolkata in ’06. There is something [or is it many things?] about this pic which warms my heart.
I remember reading in some book about how our rich culture and heritage find themselves safe in the villages, when life is getting more and more sophisticated and so called ‘modernized’ all over! And so, that is where we get to find the real India, the true spirit of our nation – the country side. There is such inexplicable joy in going back to your roots.
This was shot from a moving car, less light too, and so is not a great one. But, like Su says – The image may not be good, but the scene is great! It was just about 5 in the morning and all these farmers were up and working hard at that!!! What might be their booting time – fraction of a second?
1st!
I cmpltely agree wid Su here. The image may not be good, but the scene is great!
n OMG!!! workin so hard at 5 AM!!!! I’ve been struggling since manyyyy years to wake up early n haven’t been successful yet 
It is so true that “The soul of India lives in its villages”.
1st?

I think the picture is beautiful. I don’t know much about photography but the less light makes the scene twilit and very poignant. I love the way they are working in tandem.

The water looks almost glassy and that’s my favorite green. I think they start early to avoid the heat of the afternoon, just wondering.
That they do IHM! Even the painters doing our apartment do that to get done sooner
But I hv sometimes seen them working late into the evening too
Its beautiful, beyond words can describe, I feel it has all elements required for a picture perfect
