“Suddenly I saw that a man was collecting garbage and a dog was constantly with him. Continuous means continuously. Kept watching for 5-7 minutes. Then I thought that all this should be recorded. While starting the recording, I felt that what the eyes saw would not be recorded on the camera. Despite this, the camera rolled and what was recorded was more unforgettable than unbelievable, at least for all of us,” reads a part of his post when translated into English from Hindi.
