Be Satisfied with What you Have!

Bank of  river Krishna, Vijayawada, Andra Pradesh

This was during concurrent field visit to Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh in 2013 during post graduate studies in Social Work (MSW). Krishna river is a source of livelihood to many slum dwellers and homeless. A woman seen with me is one such struggling for survival.  She uses open air oven to cook her meals every day.  She was friendly and seems happy even in a state of destitute. Felt so sorry.

Sometimes, to change ourselves, we need to look at others and understand how life goes...

So disheartening to see our people suffering beyond tolerance, yet we fail to respond to their needs. Even if a beggar is seen begging before us, we pretentiously go unnoticed most of the time. Many of our kinds are seen scavenging for survival.
