Meet the Champion

Posted by Natalia (Kabul, Afghanistan) on 17 January 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

A boy from Bush Bazaaar, in Kabul. He just won a game of tUkhum jAngi, 'war eggs', and there were a lot of admirations and objections from other boys. But he just stood there, savoring the moment; looking very content and unmoved by the emotions of others. Makings of a true champion.
