Poverty...of Thought

Went to Odyssey, a bookstore in Gandhinagar this afternoon. A nice bookstore in the hustle and bustle. The clientele appeared to be on the heavier side- figuratively, not intellectually. A look at one segment of society. As I came out I walked past an older woman carrying five big bags on her back and she was asking for money. Could not help but give her a big note- I thought of my mother and how society could be so cruel, to put an old woman in that state. As I walking further, a car pulled out of a restaurant and a woman in her twenties rolled down the window and threw out trash, with no consideration of the outside world. Ah! The frustrations!
