The Stare Paradox

So m in a 500c.Its what you call a volvo that goes from ITPL to Banashankari.The bus was pretty okay in terms of crowd.You could see anyone sitting a 10 -15 metres away from your seat.So this would directly be the hypothetical ladies seat in the bus. (its hypothetical because there is no seat marked ladies in the volvo bus.But you would always find a great concentration of ladies only in these 8 seats located towards the anterior side of the bus).
The next thing that follows when you usually sit in a bus involves looking around for anything interesting , be it outside the window or inside the bus.And its kind of imperative that , if you find a cute girl in it , you would not be able to stop taking momentary glances at her.This doesnt essentially mean checking out the chick from top to bottom.
I have done only a handful of portraits ( 2 to be precise).This was done when i was an absolute noob ( now m not absolute...kinda relative u can say) .And the next aim it to shoot a feminine one (i swear that its an obsession that most boys have ) .So when you see a pretty girl, you are pushed to prolong those staring glance seconds window by a couple of seconds.It is a little unfair if anyone out there calls me a pervert here.Come on ! I was just checking the light on her face and how it would look in a studio.You know , how much her nose would need to be hidden to avoid her from looking like a piglet and how much the curls of her hair would complement her long face..and all that ?? !! ? no ?

Its hard to tell this to some guy who thinks that you are better off begging in the streets than pursuing photography ( even i feel the same way sometimes..but m up on my confidence usually).I chose the hard way and got a reply which was as good as the answer to "machaa can i borrow your LOTR book ?? " . Yes the answer was " go f**k urself".Hmm..Now i am on the verge of giving up this activity, especially since the girl reacted by changing her seat from facing me to me facing her duppatta over her head....

And wait !! Its not like girls dont want to be stared at . They like it . And its not like m gonna follow her around or m doing it with my mouth half open..Its not ! You girls should be ashamed of yourselves !!

But for now . i guess its just staring at pretty models in flickr...
