Some thoughts...

For the last few days I am noticing a boy in Brigade Road.
He will be sitting in front of the CCD shop, and there will be a lot of currency notes in his lap.
While his peers, who might be limbing, have a small kid, or even without one hand managed to get only few coins, this boy was getting lots of 10 and a few 100 rupees notes.
What makes him a super star at what he is doing - he is a small, around 10 years old, boy with a cute face and from his chin to his belly there is a big scar.
Something like he was burned.
He is not able to look up, as the skin is so tight, and he will roll his eyes up to maximum or he will bend his body when he needs to look up.


Remember Slumdog Millionaire ???
Won't this kid also be kept there by a mafia...
Somebody who cruelly burned him for their reason.
Worst, if they feel like he makes more money than other, won't there be more like him on roads...
Though I feel very pity for the boy, this thought stopped me from dropping anything into his lap...
But, if everybody stopped giving him anything, will that make those mafia pour more hot oil or something to make his burns worse...


No clue...
Won't there be anybody who needs to take notice of it...

  1. This week I didn't see him at that spot. May be he has moved to a greener spot... Hope he is fine.
