“Story Behind The Picture” Sense of Responsibility

Story Behind The Picture
.....
"Sense of Responsibility"
....
Dear Friends,
....
Today I’m before you with a photograph which was taken in a small village of Distt. Hoshangabad (M.P-India) in December 2003. I was on the way to Tilak Sindoor, a religious place. This place is situated at a high spot in Satpura hills and is famous for Lord Shiva’s temple. I witnessed a small village on my way. I requested my friends to have a halt in the village and they kindly agreed. The village was fairly beautiful and quite serene. While taking a walk in the village I noticed this beautiful house. The overall atmosphere of the house explained a complete story. The responsible girls busy in their daily task, the hens pecking the grains, the attractive geometrical drawings on the wall and the tiled roof of the house, together, offered a golden opportunity for a story telling photograph. I clicked a few frames. This is one of them. This picture reminds me of that village even today due to its quiet environment and the simplicity of its habitants. Moreover the neatness of the houses in this region is praiseworthy.
I used a Canon AE-1 SLR Camera with a 50 mm lens. The film used was Kodak Gold 200 ASA.
