Yes, I know. I met families living on a barren charpoy under some trees at the side of the road. I saw people doing their laundry at a public tap at the side of the road, and then putting on their still-wet clothes.
Those people had little reason to smile. At least Purinam had a "home" of sorts, and was able to be happy. Many live lives of such destitution that they can hardly smile.
