Just an observation

The other day i was travelling in the bus when i noticed this family infront of me. Basically it comprised of 2 young children and perhaps their mother. Anyway,back to what i saw-- during their journey,the boy was seated to his mother's right and all the while he was left alone. Several times i saw him clutching his bag tightly as he looked around and there were few instances when he just kept gazing at the lady(not in the picture) next to him. During this period of time,the mother was constantly paying attention to her daughter and it can be clearly seen from the picture.

There isn't really much i can comment about what i saw but somehow,when i looked at the boy's facial expressions,i just felt pity for him. It just hit me that perhaps all he wanted was just some attention which was hard to come by. But then again,i'm sure that as he grows up,he will become a very independent boy,hopefully not too independent till he crosses over to the darker side of life.
