Last Saturday, as I was eating an 8 to 10 year old approached me to beg. May be I was mean with the child beggar. But I asked if he had a father; why not ask his father for his food and his needs. He said he has a father.
Why should we encourage mendicancy and dependency in our country. I too was born into a poor family but my parents showed that we have to work hard for our meals, avoid begging even from relatives. Learn to depend on yourself.
The govt 4ps and the TV programs of get rich quick and lotto juetend do not help much.
