ABC Wednesday

Yelerupadu, an obscure village by the side of River Godavari.That is not so famous for anything but we can see paddy fields like any other village.In the picture the river was focused at the time of sunset.

A morning in the winter

I have taken the picture in the morning.Obscurely seen trees are showing its entity in the foggy climate.Just a wayside phenomenon.

A person who forgot himself

This person photographed in the picture (with legs crossed) looked not so sane.Yes,guessed right.He has been suffering from some mental problems.I got acquainted  with him when I was  on the way.He was stuttering when he started talking a little.With the help of  locals and friends,tried to open a conversation with him.He said that his name was Gopal Chand. He was not able to recall his native place or state.He knew only Hindi.But his pronunciation is not clear to catch.

He remains always calm and take rest under the tree.Collects his alms from surrounding people.His only activity is gathering waste papers,cloths,utensils or any items lying on the road.Gopal chand collected almost 12 bags of such items.He answered that that they were money and nothing else.Of course,he said it on asking at least ten times.

He does no harm or mess.Even he talks very less.People said that he came to this village almost one month back.Due to serene ambiance and climate,he seems picking up his health.Who knows his back ground or  life experience that led him to this pathetic condition.Anyway,a human being is to be treated as a human being.  (Location: Nandigama padu,Nelli paka mandal,E.G.Dt,A.P.)
