Curiosity

Of the many detours my camera gave me over the years, what surprised me most was the curiosity this little one held in his eyes as he stood supervised within the wood block. A wood block to not let him wander away from home, a block for him to stay protected. Children have a way of expressing without much to tell, in their silences, glances, and mischiefs. I stood near this kid on the "Varambu" - meaning a piece of land separating a waterbody and farm fields; where his home is.

The child quite naturally is restricted to this area, but pushes himself to look around and peek from afar. With the "Kajal" bordered across his eyelids, his stare seemed very strong and curious to me. A curiosity that gave me a reflection of the land and the lake beside. If you carefully peek into his eyes, you'll see the world around him, literally and figuratively! (try zooming in)

This is the 1st among the trilogy in my "World Around Him" collection.
