Innocent Glance

A village Girl at far flung  Sikkim 

They are what they are….nothing is artificial in them. Nothing is comparable between them and their counterparts living in some big cities under the expensive roofs. But, they are the real people who are miles away from the modern acquisitive world and are simple and honest. In the cold days of December these kids are busy in grazing their cattle. They do not have to struggle with their brothers for a T V Remote to watch their favorite Cartoon Show. For them they themselves are Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry (which they might not know and are neither keen to know about such unreal characters). They do not have to wait for Next day to watch the next episode of their Cartoon Serials. They are just busy in their own world, in their own way amid to nature. Sometimes they play beneath the real rainbow and some other time they swim in the river. Free from all the unreal strains how happy they are?

A village kid in the Winter 

During winter vacation, one can find such faces in every villages of Sikkim busy in playing and grazing their cattle. For the people living in the cities such glimpses do not make much difference and for them they are the common feature of villages. For them these kids are rustic and are the children of a Lesser God. But, for me they have a life free from all the worries and anxieties and they are the real kids who can enjoy every amenity offer to them by Mother Nature.
