It was fun watching them. But they
were alarmed. One of them saw me clicking their photographs and they crowded
me, anxiously inquiring whether I would send these photos to newspapers? I
understood their anxiety. It’s a children’s park but the sector’s adults do not
allow them to play here, citing “nuisance”. Often they would complain to local
press or civil authorities against children doing what comes most naturally to
them – innocent play. If children should not play, who should? Anyway, it was
heartening to watch them play volleyball, when cricket and football are the
usual glam sports that attract children.
When I assured them that I was
photographing them for sheer joy and not for harming them, they decided to have
an impromptu photo session. I loved their bright, gleaming faces. Hope you do
too:
