These questions were asked in Quora and the answers here were the answers I wrote there.This is the first part of a series I will continue.
A.Once me and my friends were eating steaks in a restaurant in Hyderabad.When the bill came it was Rs3000 for just the three of us.When the time to pay came none of us had cash.We had only cards and the card machine of the restaurant had a problem.So I decided to go out and take out money from an ATM.I went to a nearby ATM and took out the cash and was making my way back to the restaurant when suddenly my eyes fell on a beggar sitting on the side of the road.The road was poorly lit and I couldn't see properly.But what I saw moved me.The beggar was carefully unwrapping some thing.I looked carefully and saw that it was some leftover vadas.The careful and delicate manner of his,which looked like it was the most precious thing he had, almost made my eyes moist.Here was a man who was eating leftovers and I was just coming off from a Rs3000 meal.I was disgusted with myself. I hastened inside,paid the bill and came out to search for that guy but he was gone. Though I do some work for the less fortunates (I started a club of like minded friends for doing charity work few years back) I decided it was time to up the ante and increase the amount of work.I am,these days working on it.
