In the next few days I will upload a few pics of this young boy aged around 15. This was taken at the ghats of the Brahmaputra River river. He told me a story about how he landed up in Assam, from Bengal ( different states in India ) just in search of money, food, happiness...He lives in a boat .. his daily routine being:: wake up .. go fishing .. come back .. sell fish ..eat fish and rice .. sleep .. and this process is repeated around three times a day.. Many a times the whole night is spent fishing... This was taken when he had just come back after fishing the entire night and had got some good catch and was hence in a happy mood. By the end of the story he says why he is sad.. and the expression could be seen in his face.. .. and that he does not like the place,, and he is thinking of going back .. I learnt that he is a great fan of Mithun Chakraborty and Aishwarya Rai .. and makes it a point to watch all of their movies.. It was indeed a great experience in that half an hour of interaction with him.. More of the sory in subsequent uploads! I loved the color of his scarf (actually thats his towel ) and the pattern that it had..
