// SMILING AMA //
Ama means mother and
hajur ama
means grandmother in Nepali
&
it is common to
call your your non family members,
and then
I also mean total strangers,
'younger brother',
'older sister'
and so on.
It is a very nice tradition,
but sometimes
also a bit confusing, like
which sister are they actually
talking about? So when photographer Jay, behind "Stories of Nepal" met this beautiful, Nepali women, he started off by saying 'ama' and then; Can I take your picture?
"Yes you can.
There are younger people around
the next turn.
Maybe you want to take there picture
instead.
What do you see in
an old women like me?"
- Kanchi Khatri, Farpur, Dhading
