This may not be the decisive moment but, as I had been sitting there for a long time in the verandah, camera in hand, waiting for something to happen on a desolate rainy day, this felt close to it. There was a moment of jubilation when this couple riding a bicycle, a common enough sight in Sri Lanka, passed my view in the viewfinder. The lamp post looks ugly but I always believed in candid photographs in being, well, candid. This is a slice of life as it is. The bicycle is framed firmly between the car and lamp post, and it would have passed the car in another moment. So I guess this was the exact moment to click the shutter.
