"Flower children"
by Dick Verton
I call these children “Flower children". They walk the whole day on the ghats in Varanasi trying to sell flower baskets on Tourist en devotes. Most of these kids don’t go to school. But they are very clever! They speak a little bit, sometimes good English and also try to ask to match money for those baskets. These kids making long day’s.starting at 5 o clock in the morning, have some rest around midday and go on till late afternoon I feel sorry for those children but also have respect for them! I see most of them back every year we come to Varanasi. Till the age of 10-12 years. Young children have more symphony than older children
