Bengaluru Woman Who Works As A Ragpicker Speaks Wonderful English, Says She Lived In Japan

They say ‘Never judge a book by its cover’ and this was proved right after the news of 256 roadside food sellers in Kanpur were reported to be crorepatis! Even ragpickers were found to own three cars.

However, one ragpicker in Sadashivnagar, Bangalore, is surprising people with their fluent English speaking skills and beautiful singing. Videos of the woman went viral online where she introduced herself as Cecilia Margaret Lawrence.

She claims to have lived in Japan for seven years. She also breaks into lovely melodies in the middle of conversations! Have a look:

While many people online lauded her, some revealed that the woman is a regular at the Holy Ghost Church on Sundays. One can find her near Richards Park.

It was also revealed that Cecilia worked as a model for a public art project and there’s an Instagram account dedicated to the woman. However, she isn’t the owner of the page.

However, the woman who shared the videos revealed that she found Cecelia collecting plastic on the road and when asked, she said that she sweeps the church and sells the plastic for a living.

Some people have come together to help the elderly woman in any way they can.

We hope that Cecilia gets the help she needs!
