This girl in a very colourfull Rajashan-dress suddenly appeared in my focus.I didn't hesitate and pushed the button. When she saw I took a picture she asked for money. Normally I never pay for taking a picture. This time I could't refuse: we agreed upon 10 roupies. She happy, I happy.

Oh my god, this is fantastic....I thought, immediately National Geographic Cover....Is that sweat on her forhead or some kind of glittering face paint? How much is 10 rupies the equivalent of? Her facial expression also piques me. Show us more, will ya?

10 roupies well spent I think... I would love to have the opportunity to take photographs like this one day. It is the facial expression that you have captured that is such a winner.
