He is Kavya (Podi), my friend Nalaka's six year old son. Yesterday, I saw him making this design on the floor of the house; a few stones he had collected, some fresh flowering spinach seeds and araliya (frangipani) petals he had plucked from the garden, had come to life. I did not ask him what or why he made it. In my mind, I imagined if it could be a sun, a shooting star, his world, simply something he did out of love or just his imagination running wild. He did not tell. I did not ask. It was just beautiful and I am sharing it with you with a pix of Podi at work.
