I shot this picture during the first COVID wave at a mall in Gorakhpur, India. I remember roaming around the mall in search of something interesting while my mother was busy shopping. The posters on the walls , the mannequins and the people intrigued me. I captured a few shots until I noticed something interesting . I saw this poster of a happy lady talking on the phone and co-incidentally , a man was sitting in front of that poster and he was also in a happy mood. I quickly positioned myself in front of him . But I had to maintain stealth while taking the shot because I wanted to capture this moment in its entirety . I didn't want him to become conscious of being photographed .
So I took some shots and just as he was beginning to recognize my presence , I turned my back towards his face and switched to front camera in order to convince him that I have been taking selfies and not his pictures .The icing on the cake was the happy children's image in the foreground.
