When the picture surfaced, the netizens could not help but notice that the boy was riding an old and dilapidated bicycle with no proper brakes.

The internet is quite a mixed bag. On one hand, it could be the hotbed of everything toxic and negative. On the other, it is the most wholesome place to be in.

Of lately, the internet has come together to help those in need with a lot of support pouring in for them. A string of such instances starting from 'Baba ka Dhaba' in New Delhi made the world believe in the otherwise plummeting humanity once again.
