The Dustbin in The Station Waiting Room...


We were getting irritated by the news of the late coming train. Had to move in to the waiting room to sit and wait for the train.....

After few minutes of waiting got up and had pepsi my can from the nearby stall.....

Waiting resumed.......

I caught a glimpse of a dustbin being treated as a wash basin....with people not only thowing garbage but also spitting on it.........

Same was the case with remaining dustbins in the waiting room....

After few minutes i saw something which was nasty yet pitiable.......


A beggar of about 45-46 years of age came over to that bin and kept looking into it hoping for some tidbits of leftover food which was inside......

To my disgust the fellow put his hand completely inside the dustbin to take out his discovery...

That scene was really pitiful and heart touching.....Hunger is such a thing which can make someone do anything!.....

This incident made me sad for quite sometime......but need to accept.......this is the condition of today's beggar.......simply begging is not enough.....other options are required to survive......

So is there no difference between a human being and a stray dog.....this is really pathetic!......
