CITY SCAN
It’s a global village for them
Jagir Singh Raju, a senior citizen, has observed fast changes. As a keen observer in the waiting room, he is a good judge of movement of trains. He has also gone to international airports many times to bid farewell to his kith and kin as well as to receive them. His sons, daughters and grandchildren are scattered all over the globe.
A friendship worth
emulation
Ludhiana, August 19
In these times of cut-throat competition when a person does not think twice before ditching others for self-interest, the four-year-long friendship of Rani, a ‘langoor’, and Gulzari Lal, an ascetic, is a perfect example for others to follow. These inhabitants of the Sabzi Mandi area stand by each other even in the adverse circumstances.
The peaceful animal has provided meaning to the life of Gulzari
Lal, who earlier used to earn his living by playing ‘bahurupia’.
He would entertain people by changing his appearances at various
places in Delhi.
