It's easy for many of us to pass by homeless people begging for food: many of us simply can't spare the time or the money to help. In a city like Delhi, where the homeless population swells over two million, the destitute are harder to ignore. Well one man was recently caught on camera buying a meal for homeless children in a McDonald's. Another customer who witnessed the heartwarming incident took a photo of four small, hungry companions with the man, who was later identified as Dr. PC Alexander, and shared it on Facebook. The post has since gone viral.
And that's today's Daily Dish. Thanks for watching. Stop by tomorrow for another helping.
