The end???

All this happened few years back. We shifted our house and I din't have any work on my little girl's way. Later I shifted to Hyderabad. The last time I went home for vacation, I was astonished to see a huge development in Vijayawada. Shopping malls had sprung up everywhere.

I was pondering over what had happened and suddenly i caught hold of a scene that moved me a lot. It almost changed me to a great extent. A little girl, perhaps four and a half year old... A very traditional purple dress she wore(what is called pattu langa in telugu).She carried a water filled bucket on her head. That sight reminded me of an ant carrying an elephant on its head. The weight of the bucket was too....
