For many individuals, even the basic essentials of life are considered privileges. We frequently fail to recognise the everyday privileges we possess. However, when we meet someone who excels with very little, it is incumbent upon us to reflect on ourselves by looking in the mirror once more. A heartwarming video of a young boy diligently studying on a footpath in Delhi has touched the hearts of many on social media. The video, shared by a photographer named Harry on Instagram, showcases the boy, Pawan, engrossed in his books despite the bustling surroundings.

Pawan, a sixth-grade student, sells hairbands on the footpath near Kamla Nagar Market to support his family. In a conversation with Harry, he shared that his father is currently in Kolkata, and his mother is at home. Despite his challenging circumstances, Pawan’s dedication to his studies and his family’s well-being shines through.

Moved by Pawan’s story, Harry took several pictures of him and shared them on Instagram, where the post quickly went viral, garnering over 11 million views. The post also sparked an outpouring of support from social media users, many of whom expressed their admiration for Pawan’s resilience and determination.

He also mentioned that Pawan can be found outside McDonald’s in Kamla Nagar Market, North Campus Delhi and that he is raising financial help for underprivileged children, with his contact information available for donations in his bio.

One user shared a touching encounter with Pawan, saying, “I met him… I asked him if he needed any financial help in education, and he clearly said ki ‘nahi bhaiya uski zarurat ni h, aap chahe toh rubber band lelo’. I genuinely had tears in my eyes after listening to this.”

“More power to him,” said another user, reflecting the sentiments of many who were inspired by Pawan’s story of determination.
