The richest beggars in Bombay!

All those sayings about beggars not being choosers and if wishes were horses beggars would ride on don't seem to hold much meaning any more I guess. Because beggars are no longer the sorry buggers that they used to be.

Read about how rich they can be. They have properties worth 30 lakhs and 70 lakhs! That's more than my family's property put together!

Beggar Bharat Jain's family wants him to give up begging and join phamily bijness. I don't see why he would do that. He's earning quite a bit from him. Doesn't look like he'll get all conscientious about it because if he were, he'd have left begging by now.

Anyway, I think beggars can give acting a shot too. They seem to be darned good at it. To be perfectly fine and yet make such a pitiable face and cry if need be. No, actually I think they should become make-up artistes. They can go from riches to rags in a matter of seconds and be so convincing at it. Or maybe journalism, especially film journalists. It needs unscrupulous pestering and patience and yeah not feel bad when get snubbed or spoken to rudely.

But then again, begging would fetch them more money probably. So, they may as well continue. *Goes looking for a katora*

Good you put the pitiable (?) community of beggars in the spotlight! You are right when you say they are better off as what they are. But isn't it us who give them alms, taking pity on them? There are many who run away from beggars homes cause they are made to work for an earning! Good blog!
