Weekend Photo


I was just standing in the bus stop having travelled 4 hours by train. After having waited for 50 minutes and clicking few shots I noticed there was another 10 minutes for my bus arrival. Suddenly I saw a funny scene. A lady was walking with her dog dressed in under garment. There was not a single person who could hide their smile and in a shortwhile, the entire crowd were watching this wherever she walked with the dog. There were weekend revellers who were laughing loud on seeing this. I took my camera to click. But everytime I was ready to click there was hindrance. I looked at the clock and there was 5 minutes left for my bus. Though the lady was walking on the other side of the road, I just thought I could still manage to run close and click them. So I decided to catch them. But they were walking fast and there was traffic hindrance and I could not cross immediately. Keeping an eye on them I went walking on my side hoping that I will be able to catch them. My target was to walk for few minutes until my next bus stop, since I thought of giving up after that. But within seconds I found that my bus was approaching. Alas! I was in between the two bus stops and realised that I may miss the bus even if I run faster than Carl Lewis. So decided to click the dog and went behind them and somehow met them at a close range. I clicked him happily.

I knew that my next bus was only after another one hour. But still the thought of making others laugh through this picture made me to feel happy and did not mind spending another one hour at the bus stop. Where there is a will there is a way. I did not feel bored at all. I managed to spend another one hour happily observing people and surroundings.

Kavi,

Oh! I don't have answer for your question. But I observed that whoever saw this scene, laughed and had a word with that lady. It was funny. At one stage, it appeared she was walking with the dog for attracting every one's attention. But sportive lady and did not mind me taking this picture.

Ambi,

Thanks for laughing. I knew this photo will make few to laugh. That is why I did not bother missing my bus and waiting in the bus stop for another one hour. I am glad that you laughed.

Bargavi,

Thanks for your comments. Yes, I never find problem with anything since I have this nature of being content with what I have and observe surroundings. Last week one of my team mate's job was finished and he was asked to leave on a fine morning. I was observing it and there was no reaction from anyone around me. I became inquisitive and went on enquiring about this. Then my manager explained the reason. I was stunned by my colleague's behaviour. Anyhow that is life!
