When you are out of the church after the Christmas / New year service there are these little guys selling all sorts of assorted balloons
This small boy was frantically trying to keep up with the demands of the customers.
I found that most of them were rejecting this pair of birds as “one beak is missing”
I offered to pick it up and he was very apologetic and said “kum diya to chalega “ (Its OK if you pay me less)
You should have seen his smile when I offered him his full 10 rupees.
Back home, I was having my morning tea when his smile floated back, and I thought why not a photograph of the bird with the missing beak and my morning cuppa tea. After all its nice to see someone with a genuine smile early in the morning on the first day of 2010.

I couldn't stop but smile at the missing beak. I don't think you have to be the holy holy type to see that halo above your head. You made a kid's day on the New Year's!! I see the halo.
A very Happy New Year! :)
The Photograph - excellent!
Forget that,the boy must be blessing you on the ew year.

Hi! I just saw your comment on my post. As much as I need to be careful, I can't just believe that people/police can be violent unprovoked. :)

Nice gesture. The boy would have showered blessings for your act.
Just reposting something i read (and then wrote elsewhere):
Just wanted to remind you that sometimes success is better measured in smiles received, giggles heard, and hands held, than in dollars earned, deadlines met, and kilos shed.
And I must say, you've done well for yourself."
Cheers and have a Happy new year!
Happiness, indeed...on both parts! I love these little birdies!!! So sweet!
