In a series of moving photos, the man was spotted sitting outside a Shell Petrol Station at Roysambu with two children, and the worst part is that the kids looked hungry and so tired. At some point, they were leaning against him.

The man looked lost in thought and with good reason; he had not been paid for three months and was at a loss as to what to do with the piling heap of bills.
