Happiness is… holding hands

I met this bunch of cute Himachali kids while coming back from Chitkul. We were all traveling in the local bus. I was asking them random questions about the place and gave candies every time they answered. Suddenly a kid came forward looking into my eyes. I adjusted and made some space so he could sit with me but he didn’t. After about 5 mins, he held my hand and left me wondering if holding hands is still considered as a gesture for love. Much love.
