This photo speaks for itself. What you see is a man who's seeked refuge in the platforms (pavements for those of you who aren't desi) by the roadside. A man who has chosen to bring shame to his country by sleeping on roadsides so that foreigners passing by can curse at him for being indecent and ill-mannered. A man who has lost his identity in his pursuit for survival through minimalistic methods. If you agree with all these, you should probably rethink your perspective on life.

That's because, who you see here could be a man who has come from his village to the town to earn a few shillings which could support his family back there. He could be a man who adds value to the products he sells to people. He could be someone who places quality towards his customers above his profits. He could be someone who lives a selfless, simplistic life where he shares the one loaf of bread that he has with someone who approaches him and asks for food.
So the point here is that just because someone is sleeping within and appears different on the outside doesn't mean they are that way inside too. To judge someone based on their appearances on the outside is the easiest thing that anyone can do. But to awaken that inner person within and then realise and appreciate who they really are is the greatest thing we can do. And when that happens, things like 'weird' would disappear and the world becomes better place.
