I looked long at the drawing of the mother bathing her child, and it made sense to me, perhaps because of my age, but I can see how younger people might wonder what was going on. The tailor shows both grace and energy in his work. People have asked me why I take photos in India of all the old ways of doing things, but I find these images more likely to connect people with life, with understanding life and how it moves.Susan Oleksiwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693057997469296068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872146559118935939.post-9197541375431264152014-07-07T14:20:22.485+05:302014-07-07T14:20:22.485+05:30Thank you Johny :)!This was good to read and did m...Thank you Johny :)!This was good to read and did me a lot of good :).<br />As you say small things of our life attract me.My feelings were exactly what you wrote about 'the mother bathing her baby'.I was not thinking about any particular baby...though this was how my children were bathed.I was really thinking that today's children will wonder "what is this woman doing to the child?" .........(some time back a girl who has finished her MBBS asked me 'what is that?'pointing at an old kerosene oil table lamp at my house.She had never seen it though she is from TVM.My children used to study in the light of that lamp when they were at school and we used to have regular power cuts then just as now.Most of us have 'inverters' or the 'emergency' lamp now.<br />The friendly 'Darji' is from my younger days in Delhi.Sitting on the floor and sewing away. Thinking drawing a 'halwaee'I used to rut to when ever I got 2 or 3 annas.:)ushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976593170325802915noreply@blogger.com
