I think I vaguely sketched him while travelling. I must search for it now.Balaji S Rajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14448226450659159533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462040.post-65980118352753661072007-11-07T12:17:00.000+00:002007-11-07T12:17:00.000+00:00A touching post.

Helping others is a passion for me. But many times we are mistaken by others.

I came to know more about him only when there was a news about him on the first page of the local newspaper. Later I came to know that he is an icon and many people have grown up seeing him. Now there are hundreds of mails from different parts of the world to the local newspaper. Most of them have commented him as a gentleman. The council is waiting for someone to claim his body. If no one turns up, the council may take for his final ritual.Balaji S Rajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14448226450659159533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462040.post-47260137933470080502007-11-02T12:50:00.000+00:002007-11-02T12:50:00.000+00:00Jeevan,You are right.

This is the man whom I see often near the ring road". I was almost on tears when my daughter expressed her views. I am glad that the kids are concerned about others.Balaji S Rajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14448226450659159533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462040.post-18625232215185437302007-11-02T12:48:00.000+00:002007-11-02T12:48:00.000+00:00Jo,Thanks bro.
