I see you =D

Posted by Wayne (Melbourne, Australia) on 28 March 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

This little kid was the son of the driver who drove me around one day while I was in India. I had hired a car for the whole day to visit several different churches and get the second part of my sightseeing done in one shot (I had the weekends off but I generally used it to do more work...yes I am that much of a workaholic).

Anyway...the little tyke kept peering back from time to time to catch me smiling at me...He'd smile and then duck back behind his seat...=) Now..I've got a pretty gargoyle like face but I think he was just shy. =D

In him I saw a me 20 years ago and I am all the more in awe of how God's blessed me through the years...and of how wonderful my parents were...my dad who's long since departed and who I dearly miss and my mom who daily shows me what strength and honour truly is....and a wonderful sister a wellspring of motivation.

Also I just received word today that I got accepted into the first round of interviews at Bain & Co. =D
