When I clicked the shutter, the boys all smiled shyly

As I was walking along, I met three elementary school students on their way home from school. They were very interested in my SLR camera, so I pointed it at the boys and they smiled at me. They looked happy, but a little shy. There seemed to be a school nearby, and many elementary school students were walking around the area. It might be embarrassing for them to be seen by their friends being photographed by a strange foreigner. I am not sure if Indians are as concerned about the way others look at them as Japanese are.
