What we don’t see
15
Every day of our life, from the time we wake up to the time we sleep, we come across hundreds of faces. If we step out of our home most faces we encounter are unfamiliar and we remember nothing of them. They come in our line of vision only to vanish a second later leaving not even a vague memory. However, when we wake up the next morning and open the newspaper many of the same fleeting faces stare at us and we look at them and talk about them.
It is as if the printed image has given what was non-existent an existence. This is such an irony that what is alive is ignored but a dead, unmoving image has the power to move us. - Text and photos by Vaqar Ahmed

Vaqar, your analysations were pretty right... but in some places ur imagination got better of ... :) like in the case of mysterious women.... they were simple women enjoying the sea... they hid behind the veils to protect their honours.... and the snake charmer was way more then just the snake charmer, he was a man full of love, dreams and innocent smiles.... his eyes showed his simple soul. over all a great compilation:)

I do indeed; these shrines are the few places left where I find decency, humanity, a comradeship between people from all walks of life and a sense of peace that comes from the acceptance of human vulnerability.

They are NOT mysterious. You have tried to create mystery by taking the photo without their knowledge for obvious reasons.

Nice pictures. Every picture tells us the same story - we are all humanbeings, the fact which we are forgetting day by day.
