Children embody purity.
Their innocence inspires adults to keep on going no matter the circumstances.

I was riding on the sleeper train towards Delhi, and while crossing train cars something peculiar caught my eye, it was a family waving goodbye to their friends since due to COVID everyone had to return to their hometown; but a little girl was separate from them, she staring outside at an empty space, I got close to her and asked if she was going to miss this place?
She turned around with smiling and replied in an innocent and sweet voice "मेरा परिवार मेरा घर है" (my family is my home).
