Poverty

In Life you can adjust with certain set of pain. But when it comes to basic like less-money it is a worst time for anyone on earth. It is a place where anyone (human / animals/ living creatures ) can get into any level to fulfil its hunger. It will teach you all it's worth. Everyone will experience it at once in life, it kills, anyone without needing a knife.

Felt like sharing this with an experience. A story that changed inside me. Friday afternoon- 2017, was travelling to office for the night shift. It was 6PM evening. My cab driver had parked the car in a petrol pump. Saw an old man holding the petrol pipe, walking towards the car. My heart felt a pinch.Got down from the car, asked him "why are you doing this at this age?" assuming he was 75. He replied "I am 80, I do not have anyone and i need money for my living. I only do this for food , I live in my owner's garage." I was clueless what to tell for a while.

Looking at him- I imagined there are thousands of people, like him in this life who are working irrespective of their age just for food. In hindi there is a saying, "Roti, kapada, makan-itna hai to sab hai"- meaning food, clothing and shelter- makes a man rich . Always have a provisioning of food for everyone. I felt so awful, I had to think all the way home about him, that made me help people in whatever i can and however or where ever.

Any-day , in life no one wishes for a stage where you need to lookup for basics needs. It hurts and feels just not right for elderly people to work like that. They would have done their entire life for helping their parents, wife, kids. And in thier oldage its just not right for them to struggle like that.

one more story which helped me motivate in this exceptionally helping others was- I was in my two wheeler. waiting to cross a signal. On the opposite side of road was a vegetable vendor, going in his cart. the cucumbers were loaded and 2 , 3 fell on the road. I looked at his face , as he couldnt take it back due to signal. I immediately locked my vehicle , crossed the road -picked it up and gave it to him. The look on his face "wishing happiness for me as I saved up 100rs, which is his meal adjusting in a week."

These are just heart breaking. There are kids who come across these experiences. Life is all about helping each other. If you have some, you can share some.I have been motivated then to work for NGO's, help people around streets who are just struggling for food.

I have seen soo many old ladies selling fruits, vegetables home to home, carry to market, one time meal and for some no food at all. Kids selling toys across streets, signals and even begging. This has to stop. Every individual has to change thinking accordingly. Each and every citizen helps and thats how it can be reduced. everyone will get food and shelter. working opportunities should be enabled.

It is a lesson learnt. Hard work , work on the abilities, motivate and get motivated, learn to live, help others, survive, earn, buy, cook,pray,eat. By this, we all have peace and harmony. creates a beautiful positive presence of giving and taking. Life's mantra- what goes around comes around. what you give to the universe will not only come back to you, but will always double up.

No water, no food, no shelter is the definition. A little money is required for the living. This gives you the real relations in being, Rest is the people who are busy in their mission. I wish I could completely destroy this, Pray god to give everyone with basic need. Because life is all about being happy deed, that is the only ultimate bliss.

So, do good, spread joy, be truthful, help everyone, be kind. Pray always for everyones wellness. -HU
