Nothing colorless about this image! It is bright and vibrant-

I do agree with you that the picture is colorful – vibrant and loud.
The man wore colorful dress as well .
But he is a poor tea seller , struggling for survival , struggling to keep poverty at bay ,
struggling to earn a meal or two for his family daily…
There are millions who are struggling to live and living to struggle.
He is one of them.
His dress may be colorful , but his life is not.
That is what I meant . Sorry if it creates a little confusion
Thank you very much .

Life is a process full of stages. At certain stages, priority is to survive.
I always hope that someday life would be both beautiful and colourful for everyone.
Everybody deserves a chance to leave footprints in the sands of time.
Lovely shot!

I wish you were right , always.
But we see a lot of people , living and dying without making any mark anywhere.
- living a Life of poverty , debt , disability and diseases. It is a reality.
Thank you for sharing your noble thoughts.

Love the image! The footprints will surely disappear for all of us but we can still live with respect and pride

Every life has a purpose and each purpose has a dignity that no one can take away. Beautiful picture and photographic theme.
March 25, 2013 at 2:08 pm
I can’t agree with you more. But sad truth is several thousands of human lives end up without ever realising their purpose or experiencing the dignity .Fate ? Don’t know.
Thank you for the appreciation .
Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts.

Colorless People …because you will never find their footprints in the ‘sands of time ‘ … OK, but now he is a little bit famous because of your photo. I don’t think he is ‘colorless people’ but I understand what you mean. For me he looks like a nice man, working perhaps to support his family and receives a low wage… I hope he is happy.
March 28, 2013 at 7:01 pm
Thank you very much .Sorry for the delay in response .
I did not mean exactly what ‘ colorless ‘ literally means. Glad that you could understand.. He was polite and skilled – he made tasty snacks – but life is fair always , you know. There are millions like him in India , like most of the countries in the region. They work just to survive, not to prosper . In spite of his hardship , he was pleasant !

As so often, there’s much meaning in the photo you show us, Utham. Even though it’s a sad thing you’ve captured here, I appreciate the photo and the story all the same.
