This picture was taken by Krupa Asher, a postgraduate student from the Department of International Development. It was taken in Kolkata, West Bengal, India in April 2012.
I was walking around a quiet neighbourhood in Kolkata when I came across this beautiful grandmother basking in the afternoon on a perfect April Sunday. Her face had so many stories to tell that I began talking to her in my broken Hindi. She was kind enough to let me take her photograph as a memory of the honest conversation that we shared.
