The Little Boy who Could

Little Dhanush, sitting snug in the auto

This morning, as I caught an auto to work, I found a surprise waiting for me in the back seat. 


Dhanush, a tiny eight-year-old boy, sat huddled up in the corner of the seat. 

He greeted me with a shy grin and half wave. Curious, I settled in and we went on our way. 

Turns out that little Dhanush loves to travel to new places—but his parents cannot really afford extensive travel. He’s hence befriended all the auto drivers of his neighbourhood and tags along with them whenever he doesn’t have school.

Head sticking out of the auto, eyes wide with excitement, he soaks in the new places and faces - Enjoying every minute of the bumpy ride.

If you really want to travel, you will find a way to make it happen.

Just like Dhanush.
