A Blessing Boy of Kathmandu by Ryszard Wierzbicki

Blessing in Nepalese Culture is a common Custom. In Western Culture saying, expressing "Thank You" is usually articulated in exchange "for something". Here in Nepal is a rather kind of Greeting which observed everywhere and "for free". This poor boy was very satisfied and glad to be interested in someone enough to take a picture.

We were staying in that village for 6 days for the NSS camp. What are the routines of the people there, and how many people live in the village? How many houses are there? What are the problems of the people? Getting all this information was our first task. During that time I met this uncle. On whose right stood his 5-year-old grandson and granddaughter. The picture that emerged at that time was sitting in front of my eyes, wrinkles of fifty years on one side of it and five years of dreams standing on the other side.
