Another incident which will be etched on my memory... A physically challenged man travelling, with his wife & child in his tri-cycle, for more than 30 km, just for 10-kg Wheat !!   I again feel blessed to notice such a person...  Audio-clip tells the whole story...

I had no clue that I will soon get an opportunity to serve another group of sex-workers around....  Further, the way the incidents / challenges unfolded in this close encounter with them - within a matter of few minutes, will always remain afresh in my memory.... It was almost an adventure, for me.... But a delightful one... You may listen to the audio clip to know this story.... 

While giving some snacks to mostly shelter-less & other beggars on the road, I came across this mother-daughter duo. Some conversation with them over couple of encounters led me to their group who was severely hit by lock-down. The audio tells you about their background, challenges and appeal.
