“Do good unto others” & while you are in Calcutta, India, you would see a lot of people going out of their way to help others. The holy place of Dakshineswar is strewn with people asking for alms. And they find people willing to offer them a few coins or food.

This picture shows Shyama, a middle aged person, who has been handicapped all his life from a strong attack of polio, asking for alms from bystanders. An old lady stoops to offer Shyama a handful of changes. She would have given it to anyone on the way had Shyama not been there!
This street picture is taken on hand held Nikon D200 with a 2X Singh Ray graduated neutral density filter & a wide angle lens.
