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.)
Yes ,i've heard about this mental problem. But it generally happens to the old. This fellow looks young. Hope that someone will identify him and save him.
ReplyDeleteI too hope so Uppal ji.
ReplyDeleteThe no.1 destination of newly mentaly-disturbed ppl is nearest Railway station, from where they mindlessly board in a train to 'somewhere'... and God forbid, most of them never come back. They spend their whole life at the Last station... thats why we find most of 'em near train station, plateform. But, i am unable to understand the cause of their misery, don't they deserve some medical attention?
