Flying kiss

Today, I was at dhobighat, taking Teddy out to see what Mumbai is like. As my friend was taking pictures, a little girl came by and asked for money. I felt bad but ignored her because I knew if I acknowledged her presence, a lot of her friends would come surround me. As we were leaving, I got all the change in my pocket and handed it to her. The look on her face made my day. She had this big grin on her face, and she gave me a flying kiss, touched my forearm and those two little eyes had nothing but gratitude and love in it! Perhaps I will take the memory of her smile with me when I leave this place - my most cherished moment in Mumbai so far.
