Delhi pavement is great

Delhi pavement is great

The old man sitting on the pavement declined to take the polythene bag full of apples .My wife was purchasing some fruits from the vendor in front of her medical complex and she asked the the vendor to offer the fruit to that old person.
Actually that old man was frequently seen beside the path.
We had discussed about that person because his appearance and way of sitting and sleeping was not consistent with the path dwellers or beggars.

He used to  bear relatively clean Kurta and Pajama.He was a white bearded person .

We used to see him whenever we go to for the evening walk .Sometime he was also seen during mid-day

.He had a plastic bucket containing something .

We have seen him sleeping on the plastic sheet ,which was of good quality .
He had a few aluminium utensils .

We have seen him cooking the food .
 .
A chulha was prepared by using two bricks kept side by side What exactly he used to cook ,i could only guess .Most likely it was rice .He used to blow with mouth for fire to be more intense and in the process once i saw the wrinkle over his face .

Who he is ,from where he has come is  enigma for me. .
I wish i could know about him because he was at least not a beggar
AND he has proved that by declining the the bag of apple .

Perhaps he appears to victim of social apathy ,social negligence by his own son/daughter
Perhaps he has been enforced to sleep on the pavement of  Delhi .
Delhi pavement is great ,, it provides shelter to many individual??????????????
