The man's smile seemed to include a wry smile

As I was walking around Murshidabad, a man came up to me with a keen eye for a camera. I was walking around with my camera in my hand, which was a great way to pass the time for local people who have much time on their hands. But unfortunately, he didn't speak English or Japanese and I couldn't speak Bengali. The man who approached me spoke to me, but I couldn't understand what he was saying.

I suppose it would be more interesting if we could understand each other's language, but as I didn't speak Bengali at all, I had to use body language to communicate. In this case, my body language was to point the camera at him. When I pointed the camera at him, the man smiled slightly, showing his white teeth. The smile seemed to contain a rather bitter smile.
