Hello world!

This is my very first post on ‘A day in the life of…’

I wish to highlight a day in the life of this street henna artist from Rajasthan, North India. She migrated from Rajasthan to make ends meet and ended up in the city of Bangalore, South India. She carves intricate henna/mehndi designs on the palms of people in the busy area of Commercial street in Bangalore. On an average she makes $4 for each pair of palms that she designs with beautiful henna tatoos.

I took this photo of hers at a time when she was in a deep pensive thought as though waiting for the day when her world’s miseries would end. I only wished if she were educated as well.

This photo also won a second prize in a photography contest held by an Imaging and Printing Company in the USA.

So here goes – A day in the life of a street henna artist in Bangalore.
