Aladdin' Magic Lamp

Aladdin' Magic Lamp

 

Met this gregarious lady who was serving Chaai at the Tabo Monastery. She told me that it was a charity & volunatry service that she was offering for the Almighty. She laughed about the cold air & how serving hot tea helps her keep her warm. I asked her what was she prayed for the most?

 

The woman thought pensively, then glanced at my camera, rubbed it gently & said: take a photograph of me & remove my wrinkles & make me beautiful.

 

The Allaudin's Jadaauyi Chirag (the magic lantern) & the Genie within took a photograph all by itself & whispered to her: "You are the most beautiful woman & that shows in the way you selflessly serve all who come here!"

 

She smiled from her eyes on seeing the photograph & offered me another cuppa tea.
