CHANGE PLEASE!!

There is a beggar who sits in the lane i take daily mornings.... Not always but at times I happen to give him alms, which is not more than 2rs.While travelling in mumbai trains I had a habit of giving money to every next beggar coming into the train thinking 1 CCD trip costs me mininum 100Rs, which can be a drop in the bucket of atleast 50 beggars. But my generosity was replaced with the movie "Traffic signal" which talks about Beggar's rackets...... How they are made forcefully handicapped for begging? The movie takes ur heart away.... But I wonder, should I be giving alms to these beggars as eventually it will be filling someone else pocket and they are already employed in there BEGGAR's ASSOCIATION. What makes more sense over here is to give them some eatables which will definitely satisty their tummy and not someone else.

(Herein, I would like to appreciate the creative ad's which made me give chocolates to poor kidz.... Cadbury ad, Is diwali aap kisse khush karenge?)

Getting back to the beggar I was talking about, Today I saw a lower middle class guy coming towards the beggar... He had looks like the typical mistry who must be coming to your place for some carpentry work. He removed a 10Rupee note from his pocket..... We were zapped and glad at the same time, Me and the beggar. I felt very shameful. The so-called money minting ITian giving 1-2 Rs and this BIG hearted worker giving 10Rs.

It just took a minute for my guilt to last.... What a scene it was, The bending of the worker and the beggar's raising hand...Taking the 10Rupee note and picking back 9Rs. change....

Shayad Change is so much in need that we dont mind taking it from anyone..... The utmost advantage of "change nahi hai" is taken by Pune-auto wallas.... Whatever reading the meter shows 23-24, they will end up asking for 25 or even if they says 23 they will say change nahi hai.... :) So people who are money-minded, sorry who value money should keep the change ready.

AUNTY mat kaho na........

Trying to make a comeback..... Hope u r wid me..... :)
I used to like this Dye ad alot since childhood... Wondering all the time whether my dad looks younger than Mom or vice -versa.... :)
The other day, i was in the balcony drying clothes and heard kids calling for some aunty.....The calls went for long. I wondered who is the stupid aunty not responding for so long. I felt like seeing the poor kids who were screaming at the top of their voices for the aunty, and what do i see........ THEY WERE CALLING ME!!! SPARE me the HORROR.....I feel like using this phrase frequently des days. Oftenly used by BIG BOSS family, no need to mention that I am follower of all BIG BOSS season's.

There is a gulmohor tree who's branch comes into my balcony.... They wanted flower's... Normally I dont like to pluck flowers as I feel they last long and look beautiful on trees.
But couldn't say NO to those kids.... Unwillingly I plucked those flowers and gave it to them.... The happiness on their faces was PRICELESS.
I blushing said "U can call me didi......." Pata nahi aur kis kissko ye batana padega...... Realised how much painful It wud have been to all those Didi's whom I used to call AUNTY.

Over the weekend, again I heard the kids screaming for the AUNTY.... Very sure this time that they must not be calling me as I have very sweetly told them to call me Didi.... I didn’t pay heed and continued watching TV.... the calls continued.... Dil pe paather rakh ke I went to the balcony, just to notice that those calls were for me.....
I felt like I shouldnt be giving them any flowers till they call me DIDI..... Par bachche mann ke sachche soch ke maine phool de diye.....

With the ThankU aunty ..... I had some surprise this time... they said Whats ur name aunty so that we can call you by your name next time???
Nahiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii................... I dint had the guts to hear GARGI AUNTY...................... Apna naam batake, tuta hua dil leke I returned back.
I was like the TOM (from TOM and Jerry) jiski gardaan plan flop hone pe jhuk jaati hai..... :(

The point here is not that my hair have started showing signs of aging but still Kidz have started calling me AUNTY..... :(
I think I shud go for OLAY.... Would like to ask the Aunties, does it work?????

NOTE: I seriously find this generation kids smarter than me as a child..... One more random incident happened in AC coach of Intercity.
The coach has door which closes on its own but u need to give a slight push... I found all adults and so called responsible and matured guys, passing the door without taking the effort to close it back. Every next child who passed the door, made it sure that the door wasn’t left open.... I found it strange but are we so much pre-occupied with other things that we are no more alert or have we become so much irresponsible that we don’t care if the door is left open.
