Thoughts of a Mango

Academic underachievers and unemployed people are just two of many other kinds of people who are often treated as outcasts. From kids to elders, everyone fails at many things in life and more often than not they’re ill-treated and mostly by the part of the society that’s supposed to be above such behaviour.
