Flight of Desire

​”The future must not belong to those who bully women. It must be shaped by girls who go to school and those who stand for a world where our daughters can live their dreams just like our sons.” – President Barrack Obama, United States, at his speech in United Nations General Assembly

Captured at: Pokhara, Nepal

I was caught in this particular moment when I was returning back from Sarangkot after a long and tiring trek, and i stumbled upon this little girl swinging on the cliff of the mountain at a height of 1682mtrs. Traditionally, its a ritual among many Nepali tribes to swing on these swing-sets, made with four bamboo sticks, atleast once during the dusshera or dashain festival. They believe if you leave the ground swinging in dashain, the swing will take away illl feelings and replace it with new and rejuvination inside oneself and reach closer to the divine .
