The Monk

While seeking shelter from the rain at this temple in Inle Lake, i saw this monk gazing out of the window. It was a sight of serenity despite the chaotic streets out there.


It was only after sometime that i realized, he was a well respected monk in this temple. Every local who entered the temple would pay their respect to him.
I walked over, he smiled and i gestured to him for a picture and he smiled back again.


In a Country who believed in karma, it was fate who lead me here...
