    1. We thoroughly enjoyed playing in mud during our childhood 🙂

      When I saw these kids enjoying themselves throwing mud balls at each other it was irresistible for me…

      As I didn’t have a spare cloth with me, I couldn’t think of joining them 🙂

      Thank you so much for stopping by, Alok, and have a beautiful day 🙂

    1. Yes, indeed 🙂

      Really tempting …

      There was only a small puddle to start with but they slowly developed it to a muddy bathtub 🙂

      The best thing was, parents didn’t try to stop them and did let them enjoy to the max. 🙂

      Thank you so much, dear Gerrit, for stopping by and have a beautiful day ahead 🙂

    1. It was just the beginning, Helen 🙂

      As you can assume, when kids see the grown ups are watching them with interest, they just break free…

      They were covered in mud, top to bottom and their parents had a tough time bathing them 🙂

      Thank you so much for your comments and have a nice day 🙂

    1. Absolutely, Sue 🙂

      There was only a small puddle to begin with and they turned it to a muddy bathtub in a matter of minutes.

      Best part was, they parents were also enjoying it, may be with great envy 🙂

      Toughest thing was to bath them and bring back to original form 🙂

      It anyway gave me some great moments to capture…

      Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting, Sue 🙂

      Have a beautiful day ahead 🙂

    1. Absolutely, Dhanya 🙂

      Best part about these kids is, they hardly knew each other before this day.

      One is from Dehradun in North India and the other kid is from Kerala, far south, almost 2500km apart…

      Great to see, how easily kids make friends 🙂

      Thank you so much for stopping by 🙂

  7. Beautifully done, Sreejith. Things are so simple to children. Getting down and dirty isn’t an issue for them. In fact, it’s fun and you certainly captured their upbeat emotions very well. It also looks like they are at one with nature, having fun with the world around them. Not sure what their parents said when they got home, though… 😀 I think a lot of us adults can learn from them 🙂

    Hope you are well my friend and take care 🙂

    1. The best thing about the scene was, their parents watched with lot of patience and even enjoyed it 🙂

      Only trouble was in getting them back to original form and texture 🙂

      As you said, for kids, life is uncomplicated and they don’t have pretensions…

      Also, they were from two different part of India, and met for the first time, only that morning.

      There is so much to re-learn from the kids I would say 🙂

      Have a great week ahead, Mabel 🙂

    1. You are absolutely right, Ken, the toughest part was washing up them 🙂

      We were in one of our village in the hilly region of Wayanad for conducting training programmes as part of community empowerment.

      We camped there at a guest house and some of our friends brought their kids also.

      As you could see, kids had a great time with exposure to virgin nature.

      Yea, I am enjoying my work now a days, and experiences like these really makes it interesting 🙂

      Thank you so much for your lovely comments 🙂
