When I pointed the camera at him, the peddler laughed and seemed to really enjoy it
When I pointed my camera at him, he broke into a wide grin — as if he’d just spotted an old friend. In one hand, he held up a piece of his own merchandise, not with the pushiness of a salesman, but with a quiet pride that seemed to say, “Look at this.”
In Indian cities, you often come across people making their living through small trades. A man standing behind a fruit stall, someone stirring a pot of sizzling snacks, or like him — sitting by the roadside, smiling, offering what he has with effortless warmth. There’s a kind of resilience in these scenes, a strength woven into the fabric of everyday life.
