Parel, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India | 2010
This cutie is one among the homeless in Mumbai. But she was in a world of her own and it was a pleasure to watch her play and wave the leaves she had in hand while I took this image.

In her own world
It’s a lovely portrait Joshi, just hope she eventually ends up with a better life. Poor little poppet, she only looks about a year older than my daughter. Beautifully & sensitively captured.
It’s a sad story this picture tells! Good job though.

Her eyes catch us and we can’t move, just stare back at the cutie – and the blurry colors are so vivid, they seem like a metaphor of her throbbing lil’heart. Very captivating image, Joshi…
Fantastic and very impressive portrait.

The look in her eyes touches the deepest point of the heart. Indeed living in her own world like escaping from misery and suffering. Catching photo.

Nice work..
Terrific portrait, Joshi. She is beautiful.
Una retrato genial con mucha expresión.
Saludos
Her eyes are asking the question –
what is my future ?
will I get education in the school ?
good shot.
I couldnt help but feel sad … so beautifully captured.
Normaly I do not like this kindof perspective shooting childs, small humans
. But seeing this moment, captured so fine, makes me think about new ways, new angles and some focal lenght. My friend, you did it – really amazing!
You were able to capture the rays of hope in her eyes.

A moving portrait with these beautiful and deep eyes
Great shot… Those eyes, the way she looks…. Great work!
innocence in her eyes, impressive shot …
Beautiful shot. The innocence can be seen in the eyes.
makes me go awww
She is in her own world. Incredible moment captured. Thanks for sharing, and hope all is well. Anna
Amazing eyes! Such a beautiful capture
it pains my heart that she’s living the streets alone… don’t know what to say really. it’s a great shot though and her eyes and face are just too cute.
the view in her eyes is awesome
Very intense picture. This child is little older than my God child. I guess this is one of those days, it brought tears to my eyes. I have been dreaming big dreams of my little angle and here this child makes me think… will she ever have a safe place to sleep, a belly full or see a school…
I am wondering did you just take the picture or paid her for her pose? My humble suggestion is to buy the child something they would like to eat and be with them while they eat. Usually kids ask for ice cream or what ever goodies the vendors around are selling. I have seen if you leave the child with the food, he/she is so excited that they run to show it to their friends and the older kids snatch it from them.
Peace,
Desi Girl
Lovely portrait!! Her eyes are beautiful and much expressive. Bravo.
super! no other words!
I promise, I’m here! and I’m very happy here! superb photos Joshi, like this one………..:)
This is a wonderful portrait! Love it!
It speaks volumes! The eyes are alive and accusing (?)
“A picture is worth a thousand words” rings so true with an image like this.
no matter where they are placed in life kids live in their own beautiful world. thats the best part about childhood – your photograph really captures the essence of that.
OMG!! the nose ring looks so cute on the kid!
…very cute!and some deep emotions in eyes ..is hte child’s nose flowing..? probably she was crying?
Very Nice!
Mesmerising…………
Awesome portrait! A photograph can speak out millions of words!

What a haunting, beautiful image. So sad she has to live in such conditions.
A.W.E.S.O.M.E
कभी गरीबी और कभी गरीब बस यूँही बिकते रहे इस बाजार मे

A photograph can speak out millions of words!
लाखों दास्ताँ बयाँ कर गई ये फोटो !!!!
Beautiful
Good image of a tragic reality.
its out of the world…. great job … thanks for postin it …
Super Photography! 5stars
May be you could dedicate this post to her and pass on any income you might think of generating from it to her. Maybe getting someone to sponsor your post or maybe through adsense or whatever. Just a suggestion looking at how if each one of us manages to help even a single person it would turn the world around.
This is what photography is meant for. to say something even through a still snap.
This Picture speaks a thousand words…….commendable shot taken
Loved it…

Very powerful, stunning impact on the viewers.
The innocent childhood is finding it difficult to adjust with the world, that even does not know the meaning of the term innocence.

Lovely in its innocence!

With endless dreams confiding in those eyes, with a ray of hope that one day she gonna get them all, with a firm belief of God’s love and with a smile hidden somewhere deep in that innocent harmless heart, You didn’t capture an image this time, you captured the underlying emotions, Salute to your talent.
