Re: ...Beggers...
:)..yeh..when we'd go out for ice cream..and i'd see the little girls/boys selling roses..i'd like buy them all. Sometimes i'd just give money and they'd be like ..just take something..
seeing all that..and much more..has made me want to change it..i'm one of those people who cant see people suffer like that. However..sometimes it gets so annoying..like they follow you to your car..and like stalk you basically. I remember a few years ago..a kid in karachi..like chased me to the car..and he was pulling at my kameez..and he's like please madam..and i really didnt have money..so i was like i dont have any..he's like oh you're in a car..and you dont have money..in the end i had to like kick him..it was so odd...seriously..it's people like these...that make u wonder..
Yes they can be very annoying and stalking at times. During my same trip to Pakistan, I was standing at a bus stop waiting for the bus. This begger, who was smoking a cigarette, came to me and asked for money. I ignored. He asked again, I gave the standard reply "maaf karo baba". He then said something about how I looked rich but can't spare a few rupees to him. That ticked me off. I replied and said you wouldn't be begging for this money had you spent it on food, instead of your ayaashi and buying cigarettes. I moved away from that spot and he moved on to other people.
