This typical urban boy from the slums visited the park where we do yoga. When asked why he doesn't go to school, he replied that his father takes 'hadia'- the local alcoholic beverage in the morning. One gentleman from among us suggested him to come with his mother tomorrow morning so that he can arrange for his studies. The boy replied in the negative saying that his mother goes to work at 6 am. He's holding some 'chuda' (parched rice ) in his hand which will be the food till his mother comes back from work.
God only knows the real future of this innocent but smart boy.
