Khushi, the face of happiness

Khushi is a young Nepali woman who helps us occasionally with household chores. Khushi means happiness in Hindi. What an apt name for this girl! Her presence is like a whiff of fresh air straight from the valleys at the foothills of the Himalayas. Like a wildflower, she carries with her the purity, beauty and majesty of the mountains wherever she goes.

Earning a living in a far away land, so far from her husband, family and friends, what is it that lights her spirit? If she can be so lighthearted, happy and vibrant despite the daily hard physical work and without the solace of loved ones, what is stopping us?
Khushi let me post a picture of her on her wedding day. Beautiful isn't she? :)
