LIVES AROUND FOOTPATHS
Temporary built houses, single room, 9 to 10 people in a family, no washrooms no proper water systems, no sewerage system, even no gas to cook their food, absence of vital commodities; and the scorching weather; though life goes on.

Yeah! You can surely witness people living
there lives in these horrible circumstances, neither they complain nor they
desire but are happy and struggling to make both end meet. We can see many of
these people besides the road even under the bridges. After every step we can
see their houses which are made up of rags and sticks.
These houses are so light that even heavy
wind or storm may blew it away. They can’t be found at a single place. They
change their places as well as move their houses along with them. As
municipality administration destitute them, they settle themselves for another
space. Even they don’t want to change their way of living. The NGO’S works on
them but after a couple of day they turn them back to the same condition which
they use to be. They mostly run small temporary daily basis business; meanwhile
most of them are related with junk collecting business, some of them are running
vegetable carts door to door and street to street from one place to another
place, they keep selling there vegetables to fulfill their needs. Most of them
are the balloon sellers, their females are the real hard worker in their
family, mostly these women work in local factories of the city located in the
site area though they are supporting their men financially too. Besides this
the people living around footpaths are also affiliated with the business of
collecting raw junk from various places and they use to roam in garbage as well
as through that they gather huge sacks
of garbage from which they earn their
livelihood. They are careless about their time. They don’t care how to utilize
the importance of time or how to be punctual in anything. They are totally
unaware of the word punctuality. They are also unaware with the educational
system as well as they don’t even bother to send their children to any of the
educational institutes so that they can make their future bright. They are really irresponsible about their
surroundings or behaving with the peoples around them. But the main noticeable
vital thing among them is that they are full of patience and they are very
supportive but only with their own community. They usually starts their day
with the rising sun and mostly ends up at the dawn. If u ever noticed while entering in Hyderabad from by-pass side you may be able to see them clearly on your left side of the window and you can clearly have a glance at their lifestyle. These communities are usually found in the open areas or the useless empty lands located in the city near any water disposal point. While I was moving home I could see man sleeping on footpath with his sleeping stuff. No matter who cares but he was enjoying his sleep.
Living in such a style they don’t care
while spoiling roads, footpaths, and the plantation as well. They are causing
environmental diseases, which are harming it. They are not having proper
knowledge of hygiene, because of that most of them are suffering with severe
diseases and they even don’t bother to have treatment because they can’t
predict that in from which disease they are suffering.
In spite all these critical miserable life erotic circumstances, they also having a bright side. They celebrate their cultural eves, their marriage ceremonies with full preparations and also their holy occasions with full holiness. They are not allowed to marry outside their community, so they settle proposals among their own community. Some of the communities in them are Hindu by religion and few others worship sun. Because of lack of knowledge they are unaware from the word family planning and this results in the day by day rapidly increasing population of their community. Lack of resources, unavailability of essential things of life, unaware of the basic life knowledge results in the unbearable life but the people living around footpaths are surviving.
