The #Golden #Beauty
In Baalujaran, when I was almost done with my work and packed bags to return room, I was surprised to find this beautiful woman (90) with a child in her lap. For a moment, I was in a shock and cursed my ignorant eyes for not noticing her.
Sitting in a bed with a cute lad in her lap, she was feeding the one and half year old. She was not responding to my movement in her vicinity, that’s when one of our translators’s informs that she is visually challenged. The translator introduces me as a new visitor to the village and she was glad to talk to me.
Though she looks skinny and pale, her intensity of voice will definitely drive away thieves who dare to enter her house. She lives along with her son and daughter-in-law. When they go to field work, she takes care of the child and feeds him. The neighbors help her out in case of any emergency, she says.
When I asked to pose for a photo, she smiles with a gleam in her eyes and fondly gives a pose. But truly she is a Golden Beauty. Look at her smile and radiance in the face.
