Information Network
A few days ago, the part of Anna Salai, further down temple towers , towards karumuttu center was lined with beggars. It was kinda odd sight in Anna salai, never seen them there before. Then I noticed a hitherto unnoticed mosque tucked away there amid other official looking buildings, and the day was ID. Made me wonder about the information network of beggars. They are homeless, don’t have calendars or watches, but manage to throng to one place on ID!
Cnn- Ibn had featured a programme on organized begging a few months ago, only the called it "The beggar mafia".
