Not a photographer, but I do love to capture moments a lot, at least I used to click a lot of photos of my surroundings in the past. Not like, I got a professional camera or phone with the damn good camera hardware. Mine is Redmi Note 9S, a very average camera from around 2022. I believe it's not about the hardware or picture, it's about what got clicked to me, the moment that matters to me the most.

Tonight, after completing the prayers, when I stopped at my usual place for a cup of tea, I noticed this gentleman just over my head on the wall, taking a nap. At first glance, I was shocked and thought of not disturbing, thinking it might get nervous and jump over me as well. After observing for some time, I pulled out my phone and thought of clicking some pictures.
Look how deeply it's sleeping, maybe taking a quick nap in a busy place with noises all around. I saw it sitting there in this exact position for almost five to ten minutes. I was taking a look at it over and over again with a fear that it must not jump over me.
And then it woke up, noticed me, and gave me the below look.
He is like, "I see you." We had eye contact for some time. I thought it would go away, but nope, it stood still and kept observing the surroundings. Actually, these stray cats are used to in these busy, noisy places, they know none would harm them or disturb and so they too stay as they want.
There are lots of them roaming around in this area; they wander from street to street for survival. Only the lucky ones get adopted by we humans, particularly the good-looking ones. People are more interested in foreign breeds like Persian cats, and so, paying a lot of money to purchase and
After some time, I think it got a little bit disturbed, or maybe I was sneaking into his private time. Gave me a disturbing look that kinda gave me a warning too, and I didn't bother him for capturing anymore, I took a pause. He gave me this angry look and walked a little bit and sat in a different corner, lol. It was clearly visible that he got disturbed by me, hahaha. Couldn't say sorry tho,
