This is by far one of my favorite pictures of India because I think it describes the young people there. It is normally taboo to see more than one man on a bike in the United States but 4? I think this shows part of the poverty that India is known for but at the same time one can see the fun loving nature of the people. As I was watching them drive by the driver saw me and immediately leaned into the picture several times until I took just the right shot. They actually ended up following us to our final destination and asked us to take pictures with them. I was stopped quite frequently in India to take pictures with locals.

Like!! 🙂
I love it when locals enjoy the camera. Easier for the travelers.
Sometimes I hesitate when they don’t smile. ^_^
I and my husband went to a remote village in the northern part of the Philippines and the first word I learned was their word for smile.
Then i just say that word when I want to take a photo of locals.
I think from now on, I will have to learn what the word for smile is in the country/place we are visiting. Will be a lot easier! 🙂
This is a great photo, I see this sort of thing a lot in India, very iconic photo
Hilarious photo.
Very funny, indeed 😀
What is to do with poverty?
They do not have other bike to go around at that particular time or day .
