Enchanted Mischievousness

“"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.

Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't.

And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be.

And what it wouldn't be, it would.

You see?”

( From “Alice in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll)

 

This Indian little girl is my niece Aadrika who lives in a kind of wonderland with an enchanted mischievousness.

In this world she meets tigers, little dogs and dragons with amazing powers, some of them dance banghra and sing Bollywood songs, most of the little girls are princesses and they enjoy wearing too much of make-up while eating chocolate ice-creams and sometimes they even have to play hide and seek with a blue rabbit who is asking for a kiss in French as long as his batteries are working...

It is so pleasant to slide in this world of her own and to remember your own childhood.

I took this portrait in Varanasi (Benaras), it was during a summer day, after lunch.
