After making a few rounds of the lakeside trail, I stopped by to snack at his stall in Pokhara. After some small talk, I asked him if I could take his picture. He agreed but each time I requested him to smile for the camera, his face would immediately tighten up. I had almost given up trying to make him smile when a passerby overheard my persistence and yelled: ‘Maybe you should ask him to show his teeth’. And so, I did.
