FEEL THE MONSOON

These boys belong to the Malo community, a fishing family. When the river overflows in the rainy season, they are seen to be in a frenzy. Ithink they are welcoming the arrival of monsoon through their surge,their enthusiasm. After shooting this image a deep thought arouse in my mind that although they are the sons of very poor family,I think the overflowing river forgets all their sorrows and raises the hope of getting lots of fish which is the key to their livelihood
