I should really have posted this picture for this week’s photo challenge because every time I look at it I feel joyful. I just know from looking at this man’s face that he is a spiritual person –  from the his general demeanour of inner peace, calm and happiness.

Believe me it isn’t hard to feel at peace on a busy Varanasi street with all the horns blowing from the cars and mopeds – but he achieved it somehow! It makes me wonder who he is and what his story is. And to borrow that famous film quote “I want whatever he’s having!”

Of course yellow is a sunshine colour, which makes the photo even more uplifting. It certainly makes me smile and I hope it makes others do so too. And I’m thinking that maybe we should all include yoga and meditation in our New Year’s resolution…
