The usual very interesting slices of Indian life (with slices of fruit 
too!). The young couple shot has great eye contact with the woman.

I was intrigued by the slap picture. Was it a pretend slap for the crying 
child's benefit, or was it a genuine admonishment? My post modern western 
sensibilities need to know. We had maids growing up but my mother would 
never slap them :-)

On the hawker, she is indeed photogenic.
