Waiting.....but for whom and what???

Oh lord...am again late for my office...my boss is gonna get horrified....Please god please...may a micro van be waiting to get it's last passenger.....These thoughts are running over my mind when i reach Ratna Park to catch a micro for office...Ratna Park,no wonder is crowded with students hurrying for school,employees running for offices,and vendors not running but screaming on top of their lungs,to sell their goodies to the passers' by...Amidst all of them,there is one person who caught my attention,a young man in his mid thirties is lying there with his clothes torn,skin tanned with extreme exposure in the sun,and a feeling of indifference towards everything on his face.There is this handkerchief in front of him where he expects people to give him some money in the name of "charity."Well,this man is healthy,doesnt have a broken limb,his eyesight is pretty good,and his arms are strong enough to do any kind of work.So why does he chose to live a life of such misery,depending on people to feed him and clothe him??My question remains unanswered.People pass by,and some "Samaritans" help him by donating Re 1 to Rs.10. There is a total of around Rs.20 in his handkerchief..well, enough to buy him his breakfast for the day....I see him,i see people fulfilling their social responsibility,but since i dont advocate begging..i move on..By the way i was getting late for office....I manage to catch the bus....The story does not end here....i am returning from my office and i have to pass through the same place where the beggar was in the morning...I am SHOCKED to see the same man sitting in the same posture with the same handkerchief (which is now empty) and the people still doing their best to help him through their "charity". God help him.....
