Whipping

The boy I met on the street of Ajmer was presenting a frightening and strange performance. He was whipping himself with a whip. Streets of India are full of such mixed emotions and controversial shows. At the background of each such situation is money issue. And invention of Indian people how to generate profits is enormous and endless.
