Riders on the waves, originally uploaded by laijuyesh.

Met these brisk children at hot noon when they were busy with fishing on far-reaching waves, but camera raised some curiosity among them and took a short break to posing with their big catch. Often their playful fishing would allow small earnings for their holyday spend. Shot from the coastline on the way to Muttam , splendid beach station, surrounded with rocky hills and coconut grooves located 38 K.M away from Kanyakumary , Tamilnadu.

One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade.
-- Chinese Proverb
This photo was taken during the Chennai Sangamam, a festival highlighting the Tamilnadu culture & its unique art forms. Everyone were so engrossed looking at the stage performance & I was also busy taking photos of the action there. A sudden impulse made me turn around & look at the crowd.
This girl was so happily leaning on the tree and lost in her own world paying no attention to the happenings around her.
