Happiness in 24 Pieces

This image was taken near my home beside railway lines in Gujrat Pakistan on August 9, 2013. I often see people gathered around this old tree and playing an old traditional draft like game called "Barah Gout" (12 Pieces) . The game uses good calculations and logical thinking ! These people use to spend their leisure time by playing this game ! 

Whenever I pass by , a question comes to my mind and I feel myself asking me " Itni bhi kya jaldi hai ? " Why u are in so much hurry ?

Their low cost setup with few lines on the ground and 24 stone pieces shows that you can get happiness out of so simple and apparently invaluable things !
