Wicked Avtar!!!!!



I still remember me and Zenab came out from a shop of laptop accessories. Everywhere there was rush of people, vehicles…. Before I could start my Scooty two people approached us. They were a couple, with a small children. The man had wore check shirts of light colour, formal pants, shiny black shoes. The lady had wore a synthetic peach green, embroidered with white and golden and she had a little baby in her arms covered white cloth to prevent him from dust. They looked worried, thin lines of wrinkle could be seen on the man’s forehead and the lady had watery filled eyes. The man joined his hand infront of us. Me and Zenab surprisingly looked at each other as to what he is doing? I asked what happen?? He said “me with my small family was returning to my hometown but in Railway station somebody has looted our bag.” Listening to this tears were dripping from his wife’s eyes… she caught our hand and said please help us our baby is hungry, he has eaten nothing from afternoon, our all money was in the bag, and for safety purpose my man had put his money in the bag itself. We have no measures left, please for god sake, for my child sake help us plz… The child’s saliva was rolling down from his mouth, looking dull out of hungry and was crying. We thought for a while what to do, I told Zenab let’s give 10 Rs because we have other works to be done, but my dear Zenab she was very much touched by the scene she took out 50Rs from her pocket and gave them. The couple smiled but said if more we could give them. I got annoyed, no courtesy they have, being a student we are giving this much, I told sorry this much only we have. They bid us with blessings and thank you and went away. People in the shops smiled and few laughed at us. We felt little amusing by their behavior, soon a passer by who was observing this negotiation said us, Girls helping is good but you have been made fool. These are the new Avatars , new strategies of the beggar’s. And today you were their victims. Next time be careful. We nodded our head …. Without lookind around I started the scooty soon as all eyes were at us. I accelerated the speed and went out of the place. For few mins we both were driven in some thought, after 10 mins I broke the silent atmosphere. Through the glasses I looked frowningly at zenab, good my dear you could have taken out the 100 Rs note why even more than that. She gave a smile, said “chal chod na, jo hona tha wo ho gaya, isse sikh to milli hame, next time kissi pe bharosa nahi karenge.” I said haan but from next time we won’t give any beggar money rather buy some food and give them. And from then whenever I see beggar especially Child beggar, I always give eatables and I would also appreaciate if you do the same!!!!!
