Candid Shots

 

 

 

Candid Shots

            Long back while I was travelling once
somewhere in Odisha my train halted on a nondescript railway station and just
opposite another train was already halting. Suddenly my attention drawn towards
the activities of a young amorous couple, who were just at the window side of
another train opposite my platform, so not holding my temptation anymore I
surreptitiously trained my camera and made few candid shots. Which is ethically
wrong but I made few shots of their swinging moods for my photo bank, as the
couple were departing. In the mean time my train chugged off and I lost their
view. But luckily I got few telling shots and thanking them for making my day
memorable.

            Same way while I was sitting in my
balcony suddenly I saw a pair of Maina chirping very loudly which attracted my
attention. In fact they were not chirping but quarreling intensely on some issues
I think. Here again I trained my camera towards them and made few telling
shots. Now controversy erupted between me and my better half as male Maina is
arguing fiercely or the female. I expressed my views that it is she Maina who
is more vociferous than the he one. But my wife still argues that no; it is the
male who is more aggressive, whenever she sees this picture. Not to make any
bad taste and fetch the wrath in the house I usually —-? But I leave these
arguments to all my friends, well wishers and viewers that who is he and who is
she Maina arguing more fiercely? It is the bone of contention still at my home.
But my request is that whenever anyone sees this picture, then one must see with
your spouses and decide.
