When moving forward is the only way out!

This is no Westeros, where people fear the Winter. Here no one shudders with that intensity when they hear "Winter is Coming". What is more daunting to the majority of Indian is when summer approaches. Barring a few hilly states and regions, majority of the Indian subcontinent fears the arrival of scorching heat that brings plentiful of fatal currents. Still in that seared heat, the major chunk of Indian population is out there on streets to earn his bread, cuz not everyone is born with silver spoons. 

This picture was taken when I was visiting a countryside in heartland of Bihar's once notorious district Jehanabad. I was on a holiday and visiting my hometown to chill out in that summer. I was simply rambling around with my camera garlanded in my neck. The sun was blazing  heat with such an intensity that when I saw across, it looked as if I accidentally saw a welding machine in action. I had no courage to wander around. So i planned of taking a snap sitting idly. 

Then came this woman. All you spokesperson of equality between genders, I have a sincere request. Stop howling those rosy words sitting in your AC rooms and be my guest in the rural areas where I come from. The term equality sounds absurd and imaginary. the only equality that exists is the sense of poverty and deficiency. Summers especially is a difficult period when they are bombarded with fatal tropical wind called 'Loo'. They still toil day in and day out, just to make two ends meet. I may sound pessimistic but bitter gourd has bitter as a prefix for a reason, isn't it. 

But, let me also add that not everything is gloomy and an ocean of misery out there. The locallites aren't dejected all the time. they have kind of made an agreement with their fate and constantly challenge the weather to prove their dominance over the nature's havoc.

The picture depicts the scenario in which the fury of blistering heat by the sun is not able to rope in fear into the mind of the woman and she on the contrary keeps on moving to her destination. The beauty of the picture glorifies when one closely notices that even the cattle have turned their faces away from the woman in despair but the woman is not ready to stoop low to other's state of mind. She has her destination pictured in her mind and doesn't need a Google map to reach there. All that she requires is a handful of courage and a bagful of dauntless heart. 

Let the world turn its head against you...... let darkness be your identity............ fear not... walk, walk, and just walk.............
