A thing one couldn't help noticing is the utter lack of aesthetics sense of the photographers. Take for example the first picture itself. Merely centring the photo, aligning it with the dome of the Rashtrapati Bhavan would have made it look so much more grand & majestic - uninspired, uninspiring photography, content with the assurance of a pension awaiting him the end of his career.

Godspeed
