“It’s almost 40 degrees now, and we’re at Secunderabad bus stand, distributing Ragi malt and food to people through Good Samaritans India.

My friends Jishua and Aakash are helping me with this initiative. Some are walking by, others are resting wherever they find shade. We’re giving it to whoever needs it—homeless people, the elderly, daily wage workers, and even TGSRTC drivers and conductors. This isn’t new for us. We have been doing this service for the past four years—especially during summers. We’ve been volunteering with Good Samaritans, mainly to support the elderly.

In this heat, Ragi malt helps—it cools the body and gives some strength. Some people really appreciate our work, others just take it and move on. That’s okay.

We’re here to help, not for attention. And all this is possible only because of the donors and volunteers who keep it going.”
