I think some time I also want to give them money when I see they really unable to do some thing but when I see that he or she is able to the work then I don't want to give them money because I think if they able then they can earn in any way.It's not because I'm miser because it's necessary for our nation also.

hi smita... yes i give money... i don't say beggars but poor... i stay in kuwait where there are no people coming to houses to beg for money or even sit on roads.. but a very very few.... i give money to people i see who collect garbage, or wash cars... sometimes i just make them wash my car even if it is clean... so its not that i give them money for free.. and that they have earned it doing some work...people who have come here to earn but are fooled by the riches and then suffer here ending up earning almost nothing... when i am in india i go to restaurants where they feed poor people when you give them money say 100 rupees for ten people.. it depends how much extra money i have in my pocket be it 20 or 50 ... i try to help... it's better than giving cash... thats what i feel.

its ok to give them for work..in india we see lots of beggers who are healthy enough to work but they don't..they prefer begging. encouraging them to work is a better way. bye.
