Beg, Cry, sleep and forget

Beg till your stomach isnt filled
Move on but make sure you are not Killed
Cry till your heart becomes light.
Share till your hearts becomes light.
Sleep till you forget everything.
Cry, sleep and forget.
Forget and forgive.
Play, leaving the sorrow back.
Laugh, frightening the tear away.
Share, embarressing the mistake.
Sleep, forgetting the heavy heart.
Cry, sleep and forget...

Suma Varsha and Nishant david

I found this handicapped beggar parked at the side of the road on my street. He lives of his small hand operated bycycle as his feet are disabled due to polio. His children who are all well settled have forsaken and disowned him. He begs for food. cries on his misery and then somehow makes himself as comfortable as possible on his cycle and goes to sleep......forgeting his sorrows and misery ..though only temporarily..

Hello Nishant,
A very authentic picture, not only showing us your street, but also making us feel how it must be to walk in it, to be part of all these people belonging to different social categories. Your tight framing is effective here, underlining the lack of mobility of this handicapped beggar. In spite of some over-exposure in the right bottom corner, the colours look nice and natural - "couleur lolale" as they say in French...
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

Hi Nishant..this is a nice shot of the daily life in the city...great colors and sharpness..nice work.

Hi Nishant Ji,
Very well capture, good color tone & very sharp also!

No matter how poor is this guy but a lock with chain tells us that how much he concern about what ever small or less he has should not go away!
