Mother - that was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries.

I never really travel on the Indian Railways Network because its too time consuming to be very honest. I guess it was the winter time and i was coming back to Delhi from somewhere when i took this snap at a crowded platform. There was something about this scenario which was really appealing to me in a good as well as a bad way. Seeing the 2 little babies lying close to their mother facing her gave me a strange sense of satisfaction. Considering the fact that they were just an year old maybe, that they were fast asleep on a granite floor, that it was the winter time and that the platform was rumbling with restless people. 'So what?' the babies said to themselves. 'We are next to our mommy. We don't need beds or blankets. She is making us feel warm and she is gonna ensure that nobody steps on us.'
Looking at their mother's right leg it seemed as if she had made a perimeter for herself and her 2 babies which silently said 'No one steps beyond this. My little ones are sleeping'.
There were many other people lying down on the platform but this specific backdrop made me stop and ponder for a while.
And yes i was INDEED able to hold back my tears.
