More importantly it reminds that virtues like one's dedication towards work, sincerity, and simplicity, are perhaps seen nowadays possessed more by the underprivileged. <BR/>This also reminded me of the scene in Movie Swades, thats how i imagined your story posted, thinking of that face.InConvinciblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02545842118348819283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930410156318236620.post-38031444991353536492009-02-16T08:56:00.000-08:002009-02-16T08:56:00.000-08:00Life, as it is........ in our part of the world.

One boy of around 12 year old asked me for polishing my chappals. As I am not fancy about chappal I said <I>nahi</I>then he told <I> saab bahut bhook lagi hai </I>. But I was in a hurry and my train was about to leave. I searched my pocket and got 5/- coin and I gave him the same and ran for my train with a tear on my eye's edge!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215473023968525750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930410156318236620.post-41275078959175191402009-02-15T11:53:00.000-08:002009-02-15T11:53:00.000-08:00Rakesh.. it was better than not giving him anythin...Rakesh.. it was better than not giving him anything :)Winnie the poohihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445691463105808647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930410156318236620.post-68161726493032671972009-02-15T04:59:00.000-08:002009-02-15T04:59:00.000-08:00Its sad this state of affairs with kids working an...Its sad this state of affairs with kids working and most of us have been guilty about this!
