Yeah. In India this practice is very hard to eliminate. If for some it is a forced Institution then for others it is a boon in disguise. The latter is because we have beggars who own well furnished flats too… Amazing na..
In this post of mine I’m sharing few incidents related to beggars.
___________________________________________
Incident 1:
Two years ago, before I owned a two wheeler my daily wait at the bus stop was atleast 10 to 20 minutes. One day as I was taking out change to provide the bus conductor with, a boy came to me in his kind of torn clothes. Started pleading, “Akkaaaa, akkaaaa, akkaaa”, in a sad tone. With too much of kindness I gave him two rupees coin. My wait for the bus continued when the same boy came back to me. This time with a different tone he said the same, “Akka, akka, akka”, by flashing an Ice-cream candy in his hand with joy.
This was such an embarrassing though funny scene, that everyone around me started laughing, including me. LOL! This was the last time I had given money to any beggar.
___________________________________________Incident 2 :
The traffic signals that we pass through these days, will stop us for nothing less than 2 minutes. This is the time when any beggar can make money early morning. You find beggars like women carrying kids, handicapped, and yes Eunuchs (Chakka). On my way to office today after many days, infact years, I had given money to a beggar who was a Eunuch.
___________________________________________Now let me compare the two incidents. The latter is a situation where the kid is rather forced or willingly prone to this habit. So please do avoid paying kids or any such beggars until you feel it is necessary.
In the second situation, though I’m against encouraging beggars, I did it because of that thought, “What else is the option left for them?”. We might talk lightly about the sections coming in help for these people, but for their livelihood what does our law do? Will any of us even let them work in our offices? Instead of showing sympathy on their situation, if any one of us could help them, in whatever ways possible when you find them around, it would be really good. I just have to say that, if you cannot respect them with a smile atleast don’t disrespect them with your stare or abusive words.
LIVE and LET LIVE!!

वास्ता न तेरा या वास्ता न मेरा,
वास्ता उस खुदा का भी न देंगे हम.
दूसरोंके वास्ते कुछ तो करो आज
अपने वास्ते तो करते रहते है हम...
Vaasta na tera ya vaasta na mera
Vaasta us khuda ka bhi na denge hum
Dusron ke vaste kuch to karo aaj
Apne vaaste to karte rehte hai hum
