A Happy Souls

A kid from the Jenu Kuruba tribe posing for the camera. Look at them, how so happy they are. Yes, of course we need money to live, but not rich to be happy. Happiness is a choice; money need not be a first priority. The Jenu Kuruba are a tribal group from the Nilgiris, numbering around 37000. They are concentrated in the districts bordering the states of Kerala and Karnataka. ‘Jenu’ means ‘honey’ in Kannada, referring to their traditional occupation as collectors of honey in the forest.
