This probably does not fit here. However, I feel like sharing it here with some of most perceptive and compassionate posters of Sajha. Here is a very short clip from the documentary "Born Into Brothels: Calcutta's Red Light Kids" (2004) I have just uploaded to Youtube. The clip shows one of the happiest moments of the kids when they were taken out to a pleasure trip to a beach. See their spirits freed and their childhood playfulness, innocence and curiosity coming to them again. But the reason I wanted to share this clip was a very very special moment I will call an encounter with beauty. Take a look at a sublimely beautiful shot towards the end (starting from 1:22 min) when that girl in pink frock (her name is Puja and she is the most free-spirited kids in the movie!) with another kid trot past the camera and when she is passing she looks up for a careless relax and suddenly exclaims, "Hey Chaand, Moon !". Next shot shows a beautiful crescent moon. Although I wish the cameraperson could have panned the camera up uninterrupted from the previous shot to show the moon in a single shot, the beauty of the moment is intact in two shots. And the following shot which shows the girl in an oblivion and careless mood flittering her wet hair while walking with other friends as if leaves the beauty of the brief encounter uncorrupted. Enjoy the moment: "Hey Chaand...Moon !" More on the documentary: Official Website: - http://kids-with-cameras.org/home/ From Wikipedia: - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_into_Brothels ____
