79-year-old collects drugs from capital's wealthy for those who can't get them
It's early morning, but already "Medicine Baba" Omkarnath Sharma is pounding the pavement in one of New Delhi's upscale neighborhoods, collecting the well-heeled's leftover pills, capsules and syrups.
Like a modern-day town crier, the 79-year-old calls to residents to bring out their medicines, rather than throw them away, to donate to the Indian capital's millions of desperate poor.
