Childhood is considered the most beautiful period of life. This is the time when a child’s world is limited to studies, sports, having fun with friends and sleeping peacefully. Children at this age should not have any kind of responsibility on their shoulders. However, the reality of society is not so easy for every child. There are many children who have to face difficulties in life at a very young age. Instead of playing in the playground, they are seen struggling to meet their basic needs on the streets. One such heart-wrenching video is going viral on social media these days, which is touching the hearts of people everywhere.
In this viral video, a small child is seen dressed as Mahatma Gandhi. He is wearing round frame glasses which looks exactly like Gandhiji. Furthermore, his face and head are painted in such a way that he appears completely bald. His entire body is covered in silver paint, making him look like a living statue. At first glance it becomes clear that this is not part of any school program or entertainment. This innocent child has adopted this disguise so that he can attract people’s attention by standing on the roadside and earn some money.
People’s eyes filled with tears after watching the video
In the video the child is standing completely still. He is playing his role like a statue, without moving. People passing by stop to look at him; Some people take pictures of it, some make videos. Still, perhaps no one tried to understand the helplessness and helplessness behind this action of this small child. His silence and stillness speak volumes.
Meanwhile, a little girl is seen in the video. She slowly goes to the child and tries to give him something to eat. Initially, the child does not come out of his character. He stands there like a statue, as if he has completely molded himself into the role. The little girl repeatedly requests him to eat, but he does not respond. Perhaps he was afraid that if he moved or ate something, people would stop giving him money; Still, hunger eventually takes its toll.
After some time, the child is no longer able to control himself and suddenly opens his mouth. He takes a small piece of food from the little girl’s hand. This moment becomes the most touching part of this video. The text on the video also makes the audience think: it says that while the whole world kept taking pictures of her, the little girl recognized her hunger.
