A calm, cool and pleasant Evening. The Sun is soothing the earth with its last rays, as if saying good bye with an assurance of meeting the next day.
At this moment the peace is just beautiful. Sitting below a tree and just taking in the Peace, the Beauty of Mother Nature. Enjoying every leaf, every twig and every blade of grass. The breeze that passes on me, the clouds which merrily dance in the sky. Everything is just so perfect, just so calm.

Painting this scene put me in such a state. Loved every moment of it as if I was there enjoying the scenery, taking it in, living it.

Hope you get that feeling too.

Support

My Heart goes out for the Kids who have to work. I am absolutely devastated when I see such scenes. And am more than devastated by the feeling that I cannot do a thing.
The other day while walking in the city a small girl approached me. One hand asking for some money and the other small hand clutching a big hunter. After some time she used to swing it around her body in such a way that it would make a noise. I know there is some trick in it and usually it does not hurt. But I am sure while learning it the small one must have had some stings.
And now even though the stings of the hunter might have seized but the stings of the empty stomach, the stings of roaming in the sun, the rains and the cold and the stings of life.... still remain and loom large over this small life.
Hope she gets all the support she needs and deserves.

Every day after completing the house hold duties early in the morning The Lady sits just outside her modest home in Pune and gets on with it. First she has to cut out small, flat strips out of the bamboo. Then she starts weaving it carefully and beautifully to make various articles. Its wonderful to see the way her fingers move. Many times we are not able to notice the joints. Its amazing.
Small and sharp wood filings sting in the hands causing pain and irritation. I asked them how they remove it, got a reply with a needle......
