Laughing Man

On a perfect sunny day. People want to laugh and find reasons to feel good. I was cornered by this inquisitive man, and the party began. He thought I was hindu and possibly a Naga. I told hime that I have a following on fotocommunity from around the world. He knew nothing about. He wanted to know why I was not wearing my ash and walking around naked. I told him dead people don't know how to laugh and are angry that their family member cremated them and send images of the even as pictures and small movies to relatives saying , "Yup, we are really burning up, from a cheap smart phone by samsung is a bit upsetting. He ask If I would give him a blessing. I told him to find his Shangra La in he must share the work with women and when his time comes for finding the answer to nirvana. He'll discover the women he shared work with hold the key to his wishes. He then said, "Women are stronger than men.

For that reason alone his smile broke out into a big laugh showing his front tooth which he uses to punch holes into doughnuts.

Was I crazy this day. You bet I was. India with all it' spicy foods can move you to into just seeing how far you can do on a good day under the bright sun.

We laughed together he offered me something to drink, I refused and walked on to the next man standing behind him.

    wow, what a head! "like sandpaper," was my first thought: abrasive to the touch! but obviously not an abrasive character, but rather enjoying a good laugh and banter! an eye-catching image one can't take his eyes off again! love the composition here with the "cameo smile" in the back! ; ) greetings, sabine.

    You were right to refuse the drink Glenn, I accepted Indian whisky when I was there, and I can still remember the headache.
    best wishes,
