A Morning Wait: Boy Beside the Earthen Oven
As I walked through the village, I stumbled upon this touching scene of a young boy sitting quietly in their open-air kitchen. Seated beside a simple earthen oven, his eyes are filled with anticipation as he waits for his mother to return and prepare breakfast. The surroundings speak volumes of village life — with woven mats, a broom, and a few essential kitchen utensils scattered around. The textured wall behind him adds an earthy charm, reflecting the warmth and simplicity of rural living. This image captures a moment of patience, innocence, and the deep bond between a child and his mother.
