One of the kids walked to me and asked - how to cry. It’s very painful. A child has reached such an extent that he has never cried in his life.

He then elaborated, “And it comes from somebody right from the heart because probably his circumstances and the way he lived and the atmosphere that he grew up in it was so harsh that maybe he was beyond crying or he never relied on or took some kind of relief from the fact that by crying he can get away.”

As he concluded the incident, he said, “The other harsh reality is that what is crying is going to get me, so I've never cried because I never got anything. It was such a beautiful moment for me, and it stayed with me for a very long time.”
