Chole Puri

Today, we distributed to "Signal Shala", a wonderful and excellent initiative to develop street kids by providing them place to bath, eat, play and learn. Its amazing that all this is happening under the highway bridge in middle of chaotic traffic. Kudos to them! Next time, when you are driving near a bridge, don't honk, you might be disturbing a school class.
