In December 2011, we did a road trip covering south Tamilnadu from Madurai till Kanyakumari. While we were wandering in the agraharam of Srivaikuntam, I saw this girl playing in the street with the little flower in her hand and I stood there entranced!

When she saw me, the feminine shyness that blushed in her face was so pure! Also the way she remains a child and the content in her face made me so happy! For the eyes that are so used to the metropolitan kids, this was such a refreshing sight 🙂

After talking to her for couple of minutes, she took me inside their home and happily posed with her thatha! The warmth & hospitality of a village upbringing is something I miss these days.
