Stop the 'bargain'

Walking down the highway or travelling in public transport, you realize a lot of things that you fail to notice in normal life. There are people who stay on footpaths or below the bridges. Their clothes are torn or their faces are burnt, their legs are broken or their hands are cut. Its not they want to live like that but it is their choice to get adapted to such conditions. They are humans and thats what we fail to understand.

While travelling in bus or train, you often see people begging or selling stuff like bangles, pouches, stationery or any such item. Its not their choice but their financial conditions which make them do this. However they are the most honest and hard working lot of 'working class' in India. Its not just their job but their daily bread. Amongst all this, they still manage to have a family, raise kids, educate their children and feed the house. Its not an easy task. We fail to realize that the 2rs that we just bargained for could add up to become their child's daily school fees. We donot think of bargaining in a supermarket or a shop then why do it with the people who need the most. A vegetable seller down the lane, roadside hawkers, people selling in trains etc..are the ones who need money more than the people who are enjoying in air conditions.

Lets help people live a better life!
