Just a rupee? Eh? Think again.

Sounds like, SO WHAT? IT IS JUST A RUPEE! Almost every person on this Earth I know is really careless about a coin. It is just a coin.. yeah. When it comes to cell phones, balance in it, why a loss of THAT ONE RUPEE hurts so much? Like someone is injecting hundreds of pins or your heart being shattered into thousands of pieces and you can do nothing but feel that pain. True! That loss hurts a lot.  

But when it comes to a coin, again it is just a rupee! So what if it has been lost? But, is this approach observed by every brain? In every situation?

While travelling in an auto rickshaw yesterday, due to the red light signal, auto had stopped. On the roadside there was a man with grey locks, skin completely hidden by infinitely many wrinkles, blue eyes full of hopes, paper like structure as if he hasn’t ever eaten something and he would eat up anything which comes up in front of him just like a lizard targeting a mosquito for a happy meal! His hands pale and all covered with dirt, his limbs fighting every second to move a bit as he was a crippled man. Trying to move towards the traffic was a thing I guess he did every day and every night.

Each time any vehicle passed by him, all he could do was WAVE his hands with a hope that someone would atleast try helping him by giving him JUST A COIN and eyes gazing the cars, the autos, the bikes, people throwing the wrappers, not even paying a heed to that helpless crippled man.   

Sure, poor can’t eat the road and survive. I know begging shouldn’t be encouraged. But, ever wondered, from every road, thousands of travelers pass by. If on every road, 750-1000 people give THAT ONE COIN to a beggar, he would actually have 750-1000 Rs.  and can have a meal two times a day for about three to four days. Yeah, THAT JUST A COIN can save someone’s life. Why would someone like to give a coin away just like that? What about the blessings which that person would get from that one beggar?

Think about it.
