During the conversation, the beggar shared how he worked as an engineer in prestigious locations, including the Global Village in Bengaluru and Frankfurt, Germany. His life, however, took a dramatic turn after the untimely death of his parents.
Devastated by his loss, he sought solace in alcohol, using it as an escape from his pain. However, this coping mechanism quickly spiraled into addiction, costing him his career, his stability, and ultimately, his sense of purpose.
