Amazing man, we need more people like him to make the world a better place!
So great that he was honoured with a bright and colourful mural.
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Rupam.
What a fascinating back story and a beautiful mural. It's really appropriate that he is surrounded by leaves of all shoes and colors. Simply stunning, Rupam.
The world needs more like him.
