Once the camera starts rolling, the grumpiest of faces break into a smile. The laziest of creatures with full vigor start flexing their bodies into weird poses. And the shyer ones of the lot turn red but still manage a sweet smile. Such is the power of photography.
This is what I realized on my recent visit to Khandala. No matter how much you hate your boss, you are always ready to be clicked with him/her. The fake love and affection is sudden. On the bus, in the grass, beside the lake, with the ruins… just everywhere. The moment someone says, ‘hey! I am taking a pic; you’d see people rush in front of the camera. The expressions ranges from a nervous smile to the roaring laughter; from the sane standing to the crazy pushing and pulling; from the contemplative looks to ‘dil chachta hai’ posing. Some girls couldn’t resist being clicked even while coming down the rope from top of a rock hill.
And why not? When the beautiful hills, green valleys and a clear blue sky provide for a perfect backdrop…
