Once upon a time he sold bananas on his head and moved about from one street to the next in Bandra.

Than I saw him on Bandra Hill Road a few days back I recognized him , he was asking people for help but almost akin to begging , his leg had a lethal wound and he was in bad shape , he told me it might have to be amputated he was being treated for it at the local municipal hospital .

He walked with the help of a stick and I dont think a few bucks could change the morbid nature of his life that he says has come to an end.. he said this to me through the sad slithering silence of his eyes that carried death on his eyelashes.
