鐵路上母情 A Mom Sitting on the Rail, Chennai Express India Jun 2006


She was sitting on the rail under the sunshine in the afternoon. I used to sitting on the rail in my childhood as well. I liked the shiny silky warm steel rail though it's not wide enough for comfortable sitting. My express train was just passing by her with big noise & vibration of diesel engine but she was just sitting in there not disturbed without any movement. Pressure of her life might be far heavier than the regular noise or she might be too much absorbed by reading a letter from one of her children working in big city far from home village.

Now I see her round back with bright scarf with sunshine and the scene makes me feel so warm and happy. Hopefully she is quite ok.. :-)

a girl at the railway work, Middle of India July 2006


There was a girl..
working much hard chores
under the harsh sun of dry season
in the middle of India.
Wearing such a beautifully matched red and green
though almost bare footed.
she was there for working
with beautifully braided long hair
with snow white flower at the end
with nearly bare footed.

God bless her.
