Art of begging



If you are a traveler in India, you will come across lots of beggars daily. I happen to be a routine traveler in Mumbai suburbs train. And don't think I am too callous for the post you are going to read. It just happens out of my MBA pedigree.

I used to watch beggars sitting outside the station and mainly in the trains.I have started wondering why do some beggars gets alms and some don't, what runs in peoples mind before offering alms to any beggar.These are my observations.

The category which is the least earner in the old people and children without any physical challenges. The best category is the blind couple. And the best timing is the evening hours when people return home relaxed and are happy. The wrong hour to beg for alms is the morning biz hours.People ignore even the blind couple, nothing to say about others.

And if you get alms from few people then your chances of getting more increases this tells us that people mind is in a short term dilemma about offering alms and when people nearby offers it strengthens the argument to offer alms.

This is my casual observance, but we can learn a lot about human emotions by delving deep into this topic

Each rat has its own race

Its very important to be competitive in this world. And its also very important to participate in the race of life & win it. But the critical part which all of us miss is that LIFE is a race with myriad racetracks. And the objective is to finish the race to your utmost satisfaction. You are thy own spectator. Its a race where one might race in a Lamborghini and another in a bullock cart. Most people dont accept the fact that,Both can win the race.The fault lies in seeing our fellow beings as our competitors and land up in a stressful state. Since there is no end in this race its very important to enjoy the journey rather than race down to the race line,You are a fool if you expect a bottle of Champagne and beautiful girls waiting for you at the podium. One life . One race. One Driver. So be happy and Enjoy the race.

A late evening Hosur Trip.

Its true a thought gets converts to action. On Saturday morning, I called up my cousin ,who is currently studying in Adhiman,Hosur. While chatting, he told its been a long time since u came here, hah suddenly the plan for the trip was conceived in my mind. I told without second thoughts, why not meet for supper and have a nice chat .Thus confirmed with him the college timing restrictions which was 9'o' clock. Now I called up my Racing team,my cousins with Apaches, to check their availability. And as always they were too enthu about trip. So we planned to start by 5pm  and to spend sometime in Kutti tirupathi and then land in Saravana(rich)Bhavan, tastes like original  HSB. But after my cousin arriving a bit late, just 2 hrs late, I had second thoughts about leaving. But a push from the other 2 for going forward, I said lets do it. To give a brief about the road and route, the road is a newly laid NH, has awesome bends and has steeps down till hosur. Top this with Bang c...
