Contortion Extortion.....


At so many traffic lights, cute little kids with moustaches painted on their grimy faces and a thong of leather on their hats, wait in the median strip for the change of traffic lights then zoom to the first car and start "performing", 

Little ones of 3-6years old, whirl around the leather thong, doing back bends and cartwheels in between cars & auto rickshaws, when they're not doing that they're doing that horrible double jointed clasp your hands behind your head, then dislocate your shoulders, move your hands backwards, down the bum, skip over your hands till they're back at the front .... for a few rupees .... while big sister bangs away on the drums.  

The money's not for them, it's for whoever slavepimpbastard they work for and it's deplorable ... these little ones shouldn't know how to negotiate their way through the Delhi traffic and furthermore and far more importantly, they should be in school!

It breaks my heart.
