Just Kidding!

Kids!!...they'v lately made me smile a lot....as iv known a special person who loves kids. So this ladakhi kid obviously invited me for a click..carried by his mother in a warm shawl, i met him on the way to Sachukul Gompa near Tangtse village in Ladakh.

His cheek pops out more as its pressed by the shawl :)
But more than anything his eyes..
pure, serene, satisfied..but with a curiosity..

His mother insisted only to click him..
Ladakh..offering the most sought after summer holidays, has a good road network thanks to Border Roads Organisation..villages are far flung, with a skewed public transport, that means kids have to walk kilometers to get to the nearest secondary school..most Ladakhis have not seen the world below Leh. In a trip organised by us Ladakhi school children were amazed to see Mc D and escalators...a visit to Prez's residence was as much memorable.
