Kalimpong

Difference often makes us laugh. Not for superiority’s sake, but simply because we don’t know what to make of it initially.  Again a mother’s love prevails as the familiar element in this photograph, but of course what we see first is a little nude boy having a bath outside in the not-so-sunny weather. Kalimpongians do not have the easiest access to clean water, especially those living so far from the centre, so we can only assume this was a rare treat for the boy.
