Uvs, Mongolia: I had met that boy near Achit lake. His name was Erkan, and he was with his sister. We had stopped at the lake for lunch, and Erkan's family had come to live at the lakeside for the summer. He was curious about my laptop. We did not know each other's language, still we had quickly became friends. We had met for a short time yet in some corner of my heart, a tiny memory of that encounter is still alive.

उव्स, मँगोलियाः अचित झील के किनारे वह बच्चा मिला था हमें. अरकान नाम था उसका, साथ में बहन थी उसकी. हम लोग वहाँ झील के किनारे खाना खाने के लिए रुके थे और अरकान का परिवार वहीं गर्मियों के लिए आया था. मेरे लेपटोप को देख कर वह चकित था. एक दूसरे की भाषा न जानते हुए भी, जल्दी ही दोस्ती हो गयी थी हममें. थोड़ी देर की मुलाकात थी, पर मन के किसी कोने में उसकी छोटी सी याद  अब भी जीवित है.

Uvs, Mongolia: Avevo incontrato quel ragazzo al lago Achit. Si chiamava Erkan ed era con sua sorella. Eravamo fermati al lago per il pranzo, mentre la famiglia di Erkan era venuta a vivere al lago per le estate. Era molto curioso verso il mio computer portatile. Non conoscevamo le reciproche lingue, ma presto eravamo diventati amici. Era un piccolo incontro ma in qualche angolo del mio cuore una sua memoria è ancora viva.

    1. Thanks Sreedev.

      Children can be so open, warm, innocent and trusting .. (unfortunately this makes them more vulnerable to people without scruples) ..
