Please give me a coin


We always see beggars around.They see you and they come behind you ,begging for money. Pay attention, money not food.

Beggars are so common in India. Have people ever cared to bother why they are beggars.Till recently we never knew there were even professional beggars who earns more than a common man and even will have two or three own houses.Some are there who's destination was to be a beggar, you know because of varied reasons like-family problem,or due to drinking or financial problems, etc.There are some who have life long diseases and end up in begging. Alas there are these old men and women who have to beg as there is no other means to live.There are some who don't even need to beg ,in this case majority are kids .Of course they are not so rich but their parents are working as house maids and construction workers who can fulfill their daily needs.I do feel bad for the old and diseased ones. Whenever i pass by one of these kind, i say a small prayer to God in my mind to bless them, to help them. So far i have known only these few types.So think before you hand out some coins into their hands do they really need it or not.
