A350 & the Two Happy Women of Sarahan (Himachal, India)

Unread post by Arun Gaur »

While roaming about the mountains at Sarahan, we came across the two magnanimous ladies of Sarahan watching a match. I took a series of photographs within the span of about six minutes. One is posted here. Others can be seen (if you like this one) in the series “Two Happy Women of Sarahan (Himachal, India)” which I have just posted on my site.

With best wishes

Dr. Harout
Mr. Beetham
Thanks for comments. I am quite aware about the speculation that is rife about the game being played. I would try to post a picture of the game soon.

Sorry for the delay. But I wanted to wait a little longer, since I had been receiving a great many queries about the game being played. So I wanted the onlookers to have more time.
Dr. Harout’s hilarious evaluation of the picture as “he-he” was outstanding. However, the ladies are not looking for the match-maker.
Mr. Beetham’s intuition has carried the day. I know how immensely popular the game is in Australia. So naturally, Mr. Beetham’s intuitions would be impeccable at least in this case.
At the same time I must admit that I was not expecting that at a small remote nook in Sarahan, the people would be holding such a tournament. It clearly means that this game is spreading its roots far and wide in India. Even these ladies of the mountains, who have scarcely ever gone to the plains, seemed to enjoy this game immensely. The small teams in the tournaments had named themselves after many of the world clubs.
Here we see another one of the opposite sex enjoying the game in his own style, though all alone (not in the company like the ladies).

Regards and sorry for the inordinate delay.

Have a happy day and night.

I just thought it would be a worthwhile guess, I know cricket is very popular in India as well, especially international 20/20 matches.
