I would like to introduce you all to the sweetest smile of Sandhya, the 5 year old daughter of a Roadside Barber who runs his shop under the scorching Sun beneath the shade of a Tree and resides there as well under the same conditions near my old office... While crossing this place I had stopped at the Red light to be distracted by the laughter of a kid playing alongside. It was she. Her eyes caught my attention... And the smile got me mesmerised... The smile of innocence showed how her standard of living hadnt affect her as yet... This will be the memory of the few years left before the reality will take this smile away... I pray it doesnt happen this way though.
The photo had brought a smile on everyones face whom ive shown it to on my phone and tears in the eyes of her parents...
Heres to a smile worth cherishing...
Im sending it out to the world in the hope that it brings a smile on your face as well and you send out a blessing for this child...

Enjoy,
Varun Sehgal

Very cute kid, you have captured her spirit here. I love the gleam in her eyes. I just wish the photo were sharper.

Thanks for sharing!

Varun,
This photo surely brought a smile to my face, what a lovely little girl. And I agree with your note.
Wonderful shot, and my thoughts go out to her.

Cheers,
Stephanie

Adorable smile - definately contagious as it made me smile as well! Picture needs to be a lot sharper, but I guess its the limitation of the camera phones lens. Great opportunistic shot
Thanks for sharing

Hi Varun
You do well with your phone camera. This is certainly a happy smile. You have good eye contact. I am distracted by the blue shirt in the background. I have done a workshop. I hope you like my suggestion to improve the impact of the actual picture. However I still like your image.
