A poor florist, trying to make ends meet. This is the reaction I got after I asked for a smile, he just couldn't bring himself to smile. Trimbakeshwar is a holy hindu place, where people from all parts of India come folded hands for a mannat( a wish) from the god, I hope someday his mannat is also heard and lord Shiv bless him. I bought some flowers, they were very cheap, so cheap that I wondered how is he surviving. It's IDK, It's something in this picture that deeply disturbs me. Idk his name his family or anything, but the eyes, they are not at peace.

Wish I could learn from this guy- granted if he’s actually a florist.

How hard is life over there when even the flower guy has a thousand yard stare
