A Rice Bowl of Sunken Rupees

The Blind might not see you. You begin to see them, and eventually discover you see them at many events or common places where the highest volume of foot traffic will happen at different times of the day. They travel the tourist routes because they are the most lucrative. They see with the knowledge of being there time after time. They are the blind Fishermen of the streets. This is how they survive day after day.

    Une photo documentaire sur ces aveugles des rues qui survivent avec la musique, un lieu à l'abandon, rempli de déchets de plastique, rendu "vivant" par cette présence terrible et touchante, une humanité laissée pour compte qui combat pour la vie, partout sur la planète, dans des conditions que tu montres bien. Excellent témoignage! Amitiés, Michèle

    Du verstehst es wirklich, mit deinen Bildern Geschichten zu erzählen !
    Keines gleicht dem anderen und jedes für sich erziehlt eine unglaublich intensive Wirkung, so auch dieses tolle Bild.
    Gruß Bernd

    The surroundings may be abject squalor, and yet this man still loses himslef in the rhythm of his song in the hope of 'earning' himself some money with which to support himself and perhaps a family.
    So much for human kindness and a caring society....

    Le handicap a toujours été un problème dans toutes les sociétés et une charge pour les états.
    C'est pas demain que cela changera.
    Fort cliché.
    Cordial.

    Poor Little Rich India.
    The caste system is a relic of a bygone era lengthens - one would think, but it is still continuing almost unchanged.
    One can only hope that this man / these people know at least a day a little help and support from their fellow human beings. The state does surely nothing!
    The photo is touching and makes sad!
