I like to post about places and monuments but I like it more when they relate to people.
Like the innocent face of this little girl .whose smile does reach the eye from her lips …
She sells red hot chillies with fresh lemon sitting on the outer ring of Bada Fuara,… which is a monument of some importance for the city of Jabalpur… now hidden under dirt and grime, en-caged with iron rods, circumstancesand & events, such that it is no longer visible to the human eye, even if one was eagerly looking for it!
On the opposite side of the road, a magnificent pepul tree stretches its branches over believers praying at its roots, while its leaves filter the dust and add oxygen to the air.
The little girl sits with her mother oblivious of all and what the crystal ball holds for her…
Will the smile that can easily sit on the cover of a fashion magazine be also lost in the dust of time or will she break out of the bondage of birth and circumstances??
Oh ! Only if I could see the crystal ball !!
