N A Y E E M posted a photo:

I was having my coffee with Adnan the other day and somehow I spotted a small figure crawling, extending his only hand to the rich passengers who were about to board their cars. I havent done any street shooting for a while and I felt inspired, I said to Adnan "Man ! I found something".... For photographers are like vultures in a way, we all take advantage of someone else's misery. It wasnt easy to photograph him as the crowd were all giving their own ideas of how to shoot or pose, its something that puts me off but I relented. I am sure that the young doctor has got a few good ones of him as well....

This is what he told me and it was ofcourse not in English : His mother is sick, he has no father.... one day he was going to school and a truck hit him and he lost an arm and an ankle. There are so many like him and I see them everyday, and I dont feel all that good....
Anyway, who am I to complain, I myself live in a bar, literally speaking....
