Amazing video! The kid is so lively and inspirational -- people are already talking about paying for his education on YouTube.
Dear Shekhar,
The kid is really interesting and has really worked on his language skills. However, this is also an example of wasted talent and lack of opportunities for those who can make the best of it - the great thing about human spirit is that it learns to adapt. His parents can't send him to school, so he has learnt the most important art of selling at an early age. He’ll live on the streets, and you never know he might even succeed one day as he is determined. Even in Delhi, in Connaught Place, there are these tribal women from Rajasthan who sell handicrafts and can talk to visitors in multiple foreign languages, and do well. Even I bought a cute hand fan from them once.
I hope you really enjoyed the wonderful time you had in Coimbatore and hope you have a great week ahead.
Best Regards,
Himanshu
That's simply great!!!
Wow!! If only this kid could be given some real education!! What might he do for this world!!
Shekarji, here's another global Indian paying tribute to perhaps one of most favorite songs in Indian cinema:

Shekhar,
May I ask who is the person talking to that little boy? sounds like a familiar voice. I really want to know where did u find this clip. I know its posted on Youtube. Do you know who posted this clip on youtube.
I think I recognize the voice of Michael Palin (Monty Python).
There is another video on YouTube of the same child but three years later, when he's a teenager (the video is made by the same person):

My opinion is that this is the time when we can introduce our wide range of mythologies to the world. But we need to understand our own myths in a new context. If we presents our myths n stereotyped manner we will be flop. I know this is a difficult process and only hope is you and your bent of mine. I know that as an artist it is not possible for you to do it. But here you need a entrepreneurship and use the mid which are close to your bent of mind. May be you are thinking on this direction... We actually hope so...
