Smiles of India

Selected By: Rahul Basu

SMILES OF INDIA…..

(Idea Courtesy Raman K, a member of Twin Cities Photography Club)

“You haven't lost your smile at all, it's right under your nose. You just forgot it was there.”

“If you see a friend without a smile; give him one of yours”

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around”

“Don't cry for a man who's left you, the next one may fall for your smile”

“Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing

“Smile - It's the second best thing you can do with your lips.” 

“Smile, even if it's a sad smile, because sadder than a sad smile is the sadness of not knowing how to smile”

 

This is “Smiles of India”, a long term Photo Project for the shutterbugs to capture the smiling moments of the people of India. This will continue till Jan 2012. So whenever and wherever you go next, look for the smiles. Capture the laughing smile, the innocent smile, the wicked smile, the sad smile, the naughty smile, cute smile, the Monalisa smile or any other kind of smile you may come across all over the country.

These “Smiles of India” may finally end up as an exhibition if we have a worthwhile collection. We are exploring the feasibility of adding some attractive prizes as well.

Go smiling, go clicking!!!
