These two girls were selling fresh jaggery(traditional unrefined whole cane sugar rich in minerals) outside a sugarcane factory owned by their father.Enthusiastic, chirpy, smart, innocent and the cutest sales people you would ever meet.After school they helped their father in his business.An illiterate himself, the father proudly shared their academic accomplishments with us. I recalled these lines of the poem in the India Poised campaign-"And quietly, while the world is not looking, a pulsating, dynamic India is emerging.An India whose faith in success is far greater than its fear of failure"

Location: Road to Assan Barrage, Dehradun, Uttaranchal, India
