Have you ever stopped to wonder what it takes to make an overlooked and neglected person feel noticed? Here's someone who did.
Meet Gowtham Shola, a street magician who decided to spread some joy in the lives of those who really need it. Dressed in a black leather jacket and jeans, he went around asking the poor and homeless on the street for a rupee.
While some people looked at him with a silent gaze, others got confused at his plea. You can see one man extending his hand to the approaching magician hoping to get some money and withdrawing it just as the question sinks in.
Each individual eventually shelled out a rupee coin. "I'm going to take this," says the magician. The look on one homeless man's face at this moment is so fierce; it could drill a hole in even the most unyielding person's heart.
However, the magician does something with the coins that almost instantly brightens up each person's day. His trick turns the earlier confused looks into huge smiles.
While we leave you to watch the magician in action, we can't help but wonder... some smiles really are just priceless.
