morning school routine

.Mumbai suburb
Took a morning walk along the neighborhood, mostly dense colonies. Witnessed the morning school rush under a drizzling rain: dads dropping the kid, mom and kid waiting at bus stops; uniforms, umbrellas, raincoats..







kids taking leisure walk to school

Super heavy school bags (30+ percent of their body weight) are a staple sight. 


 Bags over 10-15% body weight, have been documented to causes back pains, vertebrae disk pressure, posture issues ...

A two kid team saw me with camera & showed curiosity. 


Even before I asked their names, they were posing for photo. Sagar & Raj. 


Sagar wanted snaps in front of the mandir (temple). 

When asked "Which standard (class) are you in?" both could not agree if they are in same class or not. 


Raj, holding the umbrella, likes being in his Gaon (village). He says in mumbai he doesn't have open fields to play in. True.
