A Village Lady from Shringi in Himachal Pradesh

Posted on September 28, 2009


A Village Lady from Shringi in Himachal Pradesh


I clearly remember the group of ladies I met near Shringi Vatika in Himachal Pradesh. It was late in the day and they were three going back to their own village. In fact there is a picture of mine with the same lady and she gave me some of the twigs to hold. I also remember she asked why did not I use any lipstick! I had no answer to that!

    Lipstick? That's an interesting question. I love this picture. I've always been fascinated by Kashmir areas.

    Hi, when I saw the pic in reader, the first thing that struck my mind was the lipstick. I never see any woman wearing lipstick in HP…The pics are marvelous….

    Can expect such questions from villagers.. In fact when my mom last went to Tezpur, Assam 5 years back she was shocked to see the indiscriminate use of deos and other stuff by the people of my generation there.

    I too think it is unusual to see the villagers wearing lipstick in such areas.I checked out your pictures at Picasa, thanks for sharing. Good to catch up on your blog Mridula.
