Inspired by Humans of New York, Mumbai started its own Facebook page by the name of Humans of Bombay. On December 24, they had posted a picture of a little boy holding a tray with Christmas trees. The post said he wants to quit this job, study hard and become a scientist. “They say Santa doesn’t exist, but I have faith that one day I’ll be able to stop working, study and become the best scientist in the world!” he was quoted as saying.
The post has garnered massive support from people on social media, who want to locate this boy and help him realise his dream. Little does he know that Santa Claus is a folklore.
Apparently, the page received many messages asking them for his details. They put out a message saying: “Over the past few hours we’ve received multiple messages/emails and comment inquiries about the boy who wants to be scientist. We’re thankful to each and every one of you, who care enough to make this world a better, more compassionate place. We found him selling these little Christmas trees at Hill Road, Bandra. Hopefully, he’s still around and we can relocate him to try and set up a fund that you can contribute to. If any of you are passing by and happen to see him, please try and get contact details — that will help us expedite the process. Thank you all again for wanting to be the Santa in his life — Merry Christmas!”
