Caught this boy immersed deep in his school books on the foothpath in front of the bank. Such dedication amidst the noise and the busy road! It made me capture the scene with my phone camera.

this is really an amazing capture. the 'prison' adds so much more meaning :)
1.tried to joom..(to ensure, whether school book)
2.not possible,thanks to the resolution of ur mobile..
3.good photograph
the composition is good!
Super! :)
great pic...u captured something really invaluable...
I wonder what's inside his book ...I used to have Tinkle comics ;-)
atul: Hey, I didn't really think of it as a prison but thanks for pointing it out. In hindsight, yes, he was in his own world, cut off from the world and nobody could reach him.
manoj:
1. I already zoomed in 8x and took the picture from the far end of the road. But school book it is, the other pictures show it clearly.
2. It's a humble 1.2megapixel on an instrument which I use as a phone (motorazr v3i).
3. Thanks.
mukta: Thanks. Something chandrika said about everything looking beautiful and good when one is in love :)
grey shades: Thank you.
suraj: Thanks. I tried.
parmanu: Now that I am not sure of :) I had Archies.
But , mukta, :
pretty nice capture..
@Atul..well said,mate!
Oh Anumita! you will make me want to cry displaying such dedication on someones part, was it Abe Lincoln who studied under a street light..I barely managed to pass inspite of that 440 V bulbs my dad bought for our bedroom lol!! good catch, BTW how is the RAZR, I am thinking of updrading my phone
It's heartwarming to see a kid reading a book without anyone prodding him to do so. Usually, kids prefer play over study but this boy is deeply engaged in the book. I bet he'd grow successful because he knows his priorities. BTW, I like the way you composed the pic.
Yes, a good snap of one future self-made citizen of India. Thanks!!
vibhor: Welcome and thanks.
ganga: Thanks ganga, and Atul as usual find a whole new angle :)
monk15ad: Okay, cut out the sarcasm, but isn't it a amusing sight? I love the motorazr now after initially being unfortable even holding it (happens after you have used a nokia for donkey's years). Now they have different colours too.
abaniko: Welcome and thanks for appreciating the pic. I hope the kid indeed grows successful. I can then at least claim to have taken a candid shot of him as a diligent child.
sudipta: How you doing? Coping... enjoying?
Am reminded of another youngster whom I caught reading at the bus stop the other day, even as he was waiting for the bus. Some times I feel life is beng unfair to them. But I guess, thats the way the world is fast turning out to be!
:)
Invaluable....and inspiring.
shall print n post it on my room ka wall.
My classes haven't started yet: so I am having a blast of a time!! :)
Thanks, anyway... keep bloggin!
i have seen this scene many times in mumbai...but never in delhi!!
bips
Nice frame. The yellow grill adds oodles of depth to it.
He is in his own world,And sure enjoying it. Makes me sit and watch the picture again and again.
Hmmm...intersting pic. Notice how he's crossing his legs. Just a wild guess here, does anyone else thinks he could be hiding a boner, and echoing 'parmanu's comment, I wonder whats in the book as well...lol...nice post, good blog thanks for the fun read.
It sure is a good picture. I told you that already. I hope you start having more visuals in your blogs, though your writing is as good as a graphic display.
Thanks for the advice on the phone, I just found out that I will have to pay a fortune to upgrade and they are also going to charge me activation fees on top.
yes, I guessed the phone right though it was just a wild guess.:-)
Don't know many models. Know more in Motorola products due to a friend working at Motorola.
velu nair: Welcome. Here in bombay you have people young and old reading at busstops all the time :) During exams some kids are even mugging while walking to school!
abhishek: I wish I could have given you a better resolution for that :)
sudipta: I saw that. Have fun and keep writing all about it.
bips: Yes, you are right. Kids in bbay behave like their lives depended on reading their school books! The way they are at it everywhere!
prat: Thank you so much.
alapana: :) Does it? Actually I watched him for a long time. And then when I looked the other way distracted for a second, I paid the price. He was gone.
manny: Welcome and thanks. Now what he had inside the innocent looking brown covered book I am not too sure of. But he sure had a good look of concentration on his little face :)
monk15ad: One phone is as good as another. Dont waste your money if you dont want to.
arunima: I have had it for a long time now but still haven't learnt how to use it in all its glory.
Good subject. Very rare sight. Wonderful capture.
lovely pic.....
I have all the time and place to study with such dedication....but the dedication I lack.....sigh
priyanka: Thanks.
varsha: I know. Maybe you should try a roadside studying session to bring in more dedication? :)
Very nice pic..Mobile Cams are so handy I love them for this.. though I missed quite a few pics being shy..
