Sayantram intiki vastunte rojoolaane ivvala kooda traffic signal daggara oka 10 mandi adukuntunnaru.Oka yuvathi chinna papa ni ettukoni cheyyi chaputoo naa vaipu deenanga choosindi.Inko chinna kurradu tana kadupu chooputunnadu.
Ee drushyam choosina ventane vallaki dabbulu ichanu.Naaku konchem atma santrupthi kaligindi.Naaku teleyani vaadiki evarikoo nenu sayam chesanani.
Kaani malli alochiste vallani maname penchi poshistunnamemo anipinchindi.Aa pillavaadu roju ade signal daggara enduku untunnadu, vadiki adi jevanadharam kabatti,kaani vaadi jeevitham modatlone manam tappu daari pattistunnam.Adukkovadanni kooda manushulu vyaparam ga chepattarani na mithrudokadu annadu.Deentlo enta nizamoo naaku teleedu kaani nenu sandighdamlo padipoyaanu.Vaadiki edo dharmam chesi vaadi akali terrutundani ashinchi akkaditho oorukovadama,leka vaadi poorvaparalu teluskoni vaanni chakkadiddadaniki prayatnam cheyyadamaa?
Rendodi cheyyadam annanta suluvu kaadu.Aa prayatnamoo chesaa osaari.College lo unnappudu busstop lo pilagadu ,vadiki roju rupayi ichi machika chesukunna,koddi rojula tarvata vaadu cheppindentante,vaadi amma nannale vanni ee pani cheyyamani pamputunnaru.
Ilanti paristitullo naa samajika badyatha emitannadi nenu telchukolekapotunna.

i was driving in my car couple of years ago on a surface road in one of the most busiest places in southern california, i stopped at a traffic light and was approached by a big, tall, rather healthy man with a board saying 'homeless, jobless help' he was in his reeboks, nice pair of pants, a tall coke glass in one hand and a bag of god knows whatever food from mac donald's. he had a bicycle parked near isle post and had a cell phone too. i felt sorry for him and gave a dollar to him thinking that i did my good deed for the day and most probably it will count towards my numbers in god's ledger to pave way to heavens. the very next week i found myself sitting in the next table from the same man eating at burger king. and i marveled at the concept of equality amongst unequals in this country. i felt sorry for myself for giving my hard earned money to a man completely capable of working and making a living. during my visit to india i ran into so many different kinds of people who do that every single corner of all major streets in hyderabad and other cities. little kids being carried by mothers young enough to be my kids' ages, perfectly healthy to be working, young children being sent by parents, groups or organizations to earn by begging, old people not too old to work, and monks like people with deities pictures hanging around their necks, every time i tried to take a rupee and give them the money i was reminded of the young man sitting next to me eating hamburger in america. i withdrew and questioned myself am i doing the right thing by donating money to someone who did not deserve it? is god really going to punish me for not encouraging a person perfectly capable of feeding himself or herself? am i meeting my social obligations and doing justice to the cause? am i a true citizen carrying civil duties and at least helping these poor children the future of our country get off the roads? as i introspected i came to one final conclusion like yourself. i help one kid, one woman, one elderly person, from a day's poverty or give them a decent meal but what about another hundred or thousand, or ten thousand that going to be added tomorrow. where is the origin of this whole charade? or could i look for the root cause which is our government, our politicians, our underworld lords, the mothers who live on kids begging, the gods themselves who gave themselves to someone to be hung around necks, where would i go? could i solve this problem and stop exploitation? i might as well not give that one rupee that one day or the next or forever to undeserving people and make use of it to a kid in an orphanage, an elderly in a old age house, and physically or mentally challenged person who cannot afford medical treatment, or an infant who has aids for no fault of theirs and even if i can give them a fraction of my good fortune still i will be helping the deserving people, i would have done justice to the rupee or a dollar i earned. that to me is my civic, moral, ethical, and most of all divine duty. if that small gesture of helpfulness gives me a sense of satisfaction and a small smile on my lips for that day i have achieved heavens.
You have put in the most doable and right thing in very simple terms. I couldn't agree more.
