Photographer's Note
This sleeping boy didnt afford a railway ticket. My friend and I were going to Dhaka (Capital city of Bangladesh) by this night train that started at 11 PM. This little boy sneaked into the rail coach. But, he wasnt unnoticed for a long time. Whenever, he felt any security man or any ticket checker passing through coach, he hide inside the toilet. Later, he became very sleepy and came out from the toilet and sat down on the empty floor just beside the toilet and fall asleep. At 1 AM, I saw the this boy sleeping when I went to toilet. After sometime, security service and the ticket checker noticed this sleeping boy and started shouting at him and was about to beat him. Then, my friend went to them and started talking about the situation and gave them some money to release the boy. Then, they went away and the boy went sleeping again saying not single 'thank you'. He is not more than 15.

Hi Wahid. An interesting snap with a more interesting note.One sleeping on the floor, another sleeping on the chair. Both are in sitting position and both are tilted to their right. The boy may be too young to make out whether you gave 'some money' for paying the fare or for releasing him.But his going back to a state of slumber in peace perhaps is itself an unuttered 'thank you'. But I thank you for sharing. Regards.
