I watched him run….run as fast as he could....I watched as his little feet sent small clouds of dust above his head….I watched the euphoria on his face…the sheer ecstasy of success….I watched him scream and call out to the world to see him….to see his blue kite soar and stir the mighty heavens above….I watched him…..I saw his eyes….innocent and warm…pleased and proud…. I watched, unable to take my eyes off him, this glowing vision of pure happiness emerging triumphant from the shady lanes of the untouchables…rising jubilantly above the cold gloom of his small world harshly snubbed by the ‘civilized’……I watched …watched till he and his blue kite disappeared slowly into the night….
And I smiled…..

btw...nice visual imagery.
