The little girl from Khajjiar
By its very nature the beautiful is isolated from everything else.
The horse ride at Khajjiar took us to a small farm high up in the mountains. Piles of haystack at one end and garlic fields at the other with small house in the corner. The view spectacular, and amidst all this a small girl appears and stood with a shy smile.

The past has so many glorious moments.
I remember the time when with very little money

Here is how they were clicked
1. Environment: Night, pitch black environment.
2. Lighting: A non flooding source of light like a small torch (the ones that come on a cigarette

Zaver Shroff - Attitude
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think
