Brothers in Arm
It’s a picture of one of the two kids playing in the 1st day of Monsoon in rural village in Dinjpur district of Bangladesh. I was in a tempu(its almost similar to Thai TukTuk) and rain caught up. We were in a vast lychee field and I was getting wet with my camera in ghastly wind. We saw this bunch of kids came out on the muddy road and were dancing, shouting in the heavy downpour. My tempu driver suggested me to take pictures of them (which I wanted to anyway) but it was quite impossible at that rainy and windy situation to take my gear out without the chance of making it completely waterlogged. One of the little one came running towards my side and I asked him to call the others for pictures, but only his brother came. I quickly got my camera out and shot this before they runaway for playing again.
Kids at their age in your countries or even in my country in the town usually stay inside and play with either PS3 or just watch tv in moments like this. But these ones don’t have that kind of opportunity, but that never stopped them enjoying life. They were out in the open in that heavy rain without worrying about getting sick simply having the time of their lives.
Life can’t get simpler than this.

Playing in the Rain
No one thought to grab a towel
Their body wet from the season of the rain;
Their laughter and their running stopped
Long enough to focus on the one
Who came with camera and his lens....
And here along the road
That ribbons through this field
Two boys, grinning ear to ear,
Paused to tell posterity the normal price of fun
And how the rainbow lost its way
To watch two boys in play..
