A Picture of The Competition
February 6, 2008 on 12:14 am | In Uncategorized |A good friend of mine went to India recently. I’ll let his commentary and the picture he brought back with him speak for itself.
“While in India recently I visited a temple in a town called Kalahasthi in Andhra Pradesh. This photo was taken around 7:00pm under heavy street lights (see the lights in the stores it was night time). This girl was studying on the divider surrounded by heavy traffic….of course this photo does not fully show the traffic, but Uma (my friend who took the picture) had to wait a few minutes and got a clear shot only after taking 5-6 pictures. As you can see the vehicles are moving and there was a lot of truck traffic as well……the girl was really oblivious to all the humdrum surrounding her, she was just doing what a student was supposed to be doing on a school night. When the power is out at homes or when there is no power at homes at all, studying under street lights is a very common scenario.”
“We have a video that shows the street light and all that, but anyway it is a very powerful picture showing the face of the competition.”

A) That sort of thing takes a lot of dedication and a lot of pushing from parents to accomplish. We could have students like that if our society was a little more competitive about education
B) they have really nice color-adjusted streetlights there

I believe that the camera flash is what makes it look bright, not the street lights
I don’t know though I didn’t take the photo.
