THE BEAUTIFUL DUO
This morning I was quite comfortable resting between two bolsters just like the other tourists on the camel cart.
At the far end I could see this small girl, gorgeously decked up walking barefoot on the hot sand holding her father’s hand. She huffed & puffed and at last caught up with our cart after which she danced beautifully to the music played by her father.
Most of the tourists, well educated & soft spoken city dwellers like us ignored the father & daughter duo. Finally, when one of us handed her a small token of appreciation, she thanked us & left for her home – walking back all the way on the hot sand holding her father’s hand.
The biggest lesson they taught me that afternoon – that of having enough & where to draw the line.
A majority of us do so much injustice to the unorganised sector like this one and then we talk of economy & development.
We surely need cities with hearts, to say the least.
See you soon 🤗
