This I am writing because I am not able to decipher which party is right, and which is wrong.
One fine day, during rains, enroute office, I was stucked in a jam. Though the rain subsided, the jam still persisted due to some mishap in the highway. I was travelling in an ST bus, looking out trying to understand what's the problem and how much time will it take for me to reach the office. As I was looking out, I saw an Audi standing still in the middle of the jam, there entered a beggar in the scene. The beggar, a lady wrapped up in a torn saree, scanned through all the vehicles and lodged herself besides the Audi. She started her gimmicks for alms. The gentleman in the rear seat of the supercar ignored the unlucky soul for a while, and then opening the window pane called for the lady beggar, and offered her a pack of biscuit that he had, the beggar refused. She insisted on getting monetary alms. The Audi gentleman, then offered a barter, "I will give you a 100 rs note, but u ll have to do something in exchange", the statement raised suspicion in my mind, but as it was getting interesting I paid more interest to the situation. Contemplating a sexual favor to be asked by the gentleman, I was taken aback, when he asked the beggar to clean the car and take the money. It was a fair deal, according to me, as the beggar looked able bodied and healthy. I was not the only person, who was taken aback, the beggar was equally surprised. I thought the beggar will comply to the demand but she denied. The gentleman, then eased the offer and asked her to wipe the window pane and take 100rs in exchange, still the lady was denial. The negotiation was still on, and the jam cleared, the Audi gentleman pulled the window up and left the scene. The beggar was left stranded in the middle of the road, leaving a question for me," was the gentleman right or wrong". Should anything be given for free or as alms to anyone who is able bodied and healthy. People may claim that a rich guy has the responsibility towards the society. One must return what one has taken from the society. I believe, the gentleman was returning the same while he offered a barter to the beggar. I am still in a fix, who was right and who was wrong?
