I saw the whole video.He is right..Without being self praising,..I am immediaterly reminded that when I was in school in Karachi,(in the previous century ofcourse), my mom would give me 8 annas(Pak coins…meaning half of a Pak Rupee) everyday for school canteen/soft drinks etc.On certain days,I would take one of he beggars on the street to a roadside foodstalll,, give the money to the stall’s owner or the cashier to give free lunch with 8 annas to the beggar…and then actually see the beggar eat.IT REALLY MADE ME HAPPY.Those meagre 8 annas benefitted the beggar more than would have benefitted me by just having my favourite coke and patties.
So thanks Mush.
