beg u r pardon

It was a cloudy evening after a drizzle. Myself, Mouly & Bala are heading our way towards the 'Secret Lake' by walk. A small girl from the slum came running on our way and begged politely by calling 'Uncle' with her hands raised.

I didnt listen her, for my aim is to reach the lake and go for boating. Also i consider that helping a begger encourages begging and doesnt really helps a poor.

Mouly took a coin out of his packet and gave her. She ran towards the slum and ourselves into the Lake garden. We had a good time in boating and were returning from the Lake garden.

Again the same girl came running but this time Mouly said NO. We walked a few steps and a small boy with one hand raised for begging and the other holding a diminutive stick & rolling a tyre sang the same words 'Uncle' to us.

I didnt mind the boy (again the same concept of helping a begger doesnt mean helping a poor flashed in me) and kept walking but Mouly gave him a two rupee coin and joined us.

Suddenly Mouly grabbed my shoulders back and pointed a small cart having sweets. The scene i saw there really made me to feel embarassed for not having helped the small boy. Yes, that boy was calling his small friends to share the sweets what he is buying for the money he got then.

The attitude of the poor boy to share whatever he gets questioned me that I have missed an oppurtunity to help a good soul. Now i feel that helping a begger by giving a coin is in anyway gonna useful to them. Though we can say it encourages begging, i think this is one way to help the poor and i am redefining my Principle.

I dont want to miss the chance of helping a good soul in the name of saying that helping a begger encourages begging and doesnt really helps a poor

So what is HOT abt Hyderabad?

When i came to Hyderabad in September (for first time), i loved the warm and cozy climate prevailed here. In December, the temp reached as low as 11 degree Centi making it feel like Ooty. In those days, when I looked at some houses with AC's attached I wondered why do they need it?

But today, I am in 'dead need' of an AC or atleast an air cooler. The heat waves are heating me like anything and whenever i step out of my office, i feel like i am in a burning furnace.

Oh God! why do these s/w companies keep their centres in Hot cities?
