The Header photo was taken on the streets of Baroda. It was the of Patang Festival, or, Kite flying festival. This is a big day in Gujarat.
While people were buying kites and having a lot of fun, a father accompanied his child trying to pacify him why he was not supposed to fly kites...or, probably why he didn't have a kite.
The man told me later that he was taking care of his son as his wife had died sometime back...
Want some tea? There was no response from the child...
As the child fumed and became sad, the father looked around and saw a tea stall....
The child did not not touch the tea. He wanted a kite.....
But all ended well. The child was taken by a group of boys to enjoy 'kite flying' in new clothes. The photo in the Header of this blog is that of his father, who sat looking at his child enjoying 'kite flying'.
Till this day, I have not understood the look on his face. But I find it very 'Living...'. He is a teacher. of Life...
