        LIVING PASSION WITH THE BEAUTY OF VILLAGE Clicked by Mayank Patel "A village is a hive of glass, where nothing unobserved can pass." -Charles Spurgeon Village is an adoring product made out of diverse little things. The small bumping creatures, adding magnificent beauty to nature, backed up with heart warming gestures, always ready to the camera's capture. The trinity of beautiful ladies, conversing and walking a 100 miles, carrying a mud stricken pot beside, forcing me to forever reside.
