I used to wonder if this is the scenario only in my surroundings but was amazed to see the same even here...amazed to see the universality of this question - why does this exist?
I took this photograph at the Andheri traffic signal, late in the night before I was leaving. This man was laying by the footpath, probably sleeping within his subconscious mind, hungry for certain aimless countless days.
Are we really living in a world that is so fast, detached and unkind, that people can't even get their two meals of the day? What progress, development, third world are we talking about?
For hunger, that still remains the basic necessity...

When I went to India back in the '60s and saw scenes like this, I thought, "You don't see people sleeping on the street in the States." I may have been a bit naive then, but now hunger and homelessness have become a worldwide problem, and New York is filled with shelters and soup kitchens.
