Dear Friends,
..
This time I am before you with a photograph, titled “After a Long Journey” which is one of my favourites and has a great meaning behind it. This photograph was clicked in December-2006 when I was on a trip to Hoshangabad (M.P, India). This city is famous for its "Sethani Ghaat" which is built on the banks of Holy River; Narmada. The people of the region have a profound faith in this river. I had a chance to go to this Ghaat on one fine morning. The weather there was quite pleasant. While I was taking a stroll, I noticed this old lady relaxing on the stairs of the Ghaat. She had reached to this spot from a remote place after covering a long journey. Her facial expressions witnessed together, "her journey to the Ghaat" and "the lengthy voyage of her life" at the same moment. Her bags and stick supported her personality. Further, in the background the rows of stairs strengthened the composition. I had an opportunity to get a truth-seeking shot. I clicked two frames. This is one of them. I used a Nikon, f-80 with a 28mm -105mm lens (Nikon).
