"Bhaiya Aap thoda Hindi Samajhte ho??" ....Generally I don't like to react much after the days work . On my weekdays way from my office to PG i always dream of having a power nap during the walk. As I looked around to discover the source of the question , I saw a middle aged man with his wife and little daughter looking pale and visibly tired while fighting with the cold winds of the December evening. As I nodded slowly, the man told me that he was a 'rang-mistri'. He had come a long way to the town in search for some work and food and now he had none at his disposal. I just stepped a few steps back doubting his intention whether he would snatch my wallet or not and gave ten bucks to the man and literally darted off the footpaths as possible.
Some points to be noted:
The man told me he and his family had no food since the morning.
As for me I was just returning PG spending some quality time in KFC with my college gang.
Although I gave them 10 bucks whereas on my way to home I could not even figure out what could I manage with ten bucks with 3 people at disposal. I really wish I could have given them a bit more.give Although my wallet had a good amount of cash at that time but I didn't.
So what is the Solution?
To give more to the family? If you suggest so then you must define 'more'. More is a term driven by needs and apart from basic needs , other needs can't be estimated properly enough. I may be / may not be a guy who gets a loaded payslip at the end of the month but that should no be taken into account in this case . Everyone must do their own bit. That is the aim.Still its an ideal statement. If you are a person with utmost good intentions at your heart may be u have also failed some time in delivering your bit . So alternatively and realistically this statement goes like that Even if others are not doing their part , that does not mean that you have the right to play down your part. I am going to tell you why I gave ten bucks to that man . Firstly ....reason of why I could not give more is my selfish nature......that I admit. And why I gave because the moment I stared at his daughter's eyes I saw those eyes tired but not worried about what they were going to do at that night. Remember when you were small, you always believed that no matter what goes wrong your parents would be there to set it right for you. Well, I gave ten bucks so that the girl did not loose that belief at such tender age.
Maybe you call this a lecture from a stupid guy who pretend to be a smart in his blog, maybe you ignore my appeal for humanity but that night I felt all those questions on my head needed an answer not from me..from U...
Food for thought: U don't eat up your birthday cake alone, u just share it with your friends and families.
