Ordinary Life, by Shahnaz Parvin

In the middle of endless rice paddy field, I saw a small bamboo hut and few children inside it. It was a sunny, humid day; their parents were working nearby, and they were there to get relief from the sun. I was watching them for a while, and noticed the girl was trying her best to make the small one sleep. She must be their elder sister; just like every elder sister in an ordinary family in Bangladesh, she is taking care of them. But they were in the mood to play and giving me countless candid moments to snap their heartfelt ordinary life.
