THE ASCETIC
A moment comes in life when the man is nearing God, he is totally aloof with the rest of the world.
My model, Shammi Kapoor, is my senior friend, a retired officer from BSNL, the Indian Telecomunication Company, a stage actor, a photographer, a makeup artist and above all a great humantarion.
May God bless him and his family.
