Dear Pankaj Sir, Thanks for sharing a lovely picture -pure & simple living. Brings back child hood memories - It was with these Sore kai burude's (Empty fruit). we learnt and enjoyed the act of swimming and managed to stay in the waters for long time. I remember local fishermen, young and old cross the river using these Burude's. Wish I get to photograph those acts again.
