Two hearts.....


My blog and FB friend Kavita Saharia of Guwahati, in the North Eastern state of Assam in India, participates in a Friday blog ritual called "This moment ".

As she says " A single photo — no words — capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember."  This is what you post on a Friday; no words, but just a photograph that has touched you.


This is something she posted today.   


Those who are no good at photography, must often make do with words.


(photograph by Kavita Saharia)
Clutching
his best friend
close,
he quietly bends
to rub
his running nose
against his fingers,
as he runs
down the path
to the fields.

He has seen his ma
carrying his baby brother so.

Somewhere
below a tree
she unwraps
the rotis and onions,
and sets out another plate
as she watches him
arrive,
eyes bright,
the pup against his heart....
