It is called Astro Turf
In the evening I went to stadium in the vicinity of my house for jogging (I am not into it..but on and off I have a desire to reduce weight, to feel fluffy and to look cooler;)). Well, there after couple of rounds I took out from my pocket my latest obsession (digital camera) and took the picture of a boy, in the backgroud was newly laid Astro turf. The boy hesitantly asked me " Is this a carpet?". In his voice I found the apprehension that I may snub him. I smiled and took his question as an opportunity to contribute in the knowledge of a young boy who may even not be going to school. I told him it is called Astro turf and I asked him to repeat till he pronounced it correctly. I felt very good that now he knows what it is, correctly. I further told him it is like a carpet but needs lots of water to keep it in right condition. Before leaving I asked his name. His name was Haris. I hope in future Haris will have no apprehensions in asking questions to know about unknown.

In real term you are the teacher...! I liked that you make use of opportunities not for your benefit but for others...! I also like to do so...not to show anything but to make sure someone somewhere is not misused due to his/her lack of knowledge or uneducated situations!
Amazing pic as the combi of the green and orange and the white...color of Haris dress...! The best part I liked is Haris innocence :) very well captured...I wish you go for more joggings :)
