Choosing a right career is a very important decision that each and every person has to take in his or her life.Often children,especially teens,are heard saying that they want to become doctors,engineers,lawyers,sportsmen,sportswomen,business tycoons etc. in the future.
So,today I am going to focus on a profession that is abundant in India.Most children,if not all,do not wish to join this profession(which is not a bad thing,actually).Nevertheless,I would like to draw your attention to the advantages and disadvantages of this profession;the educational qualification required;and of course,the salary that this profession has got to offer.Now,let me tell you about those who have joined this profession.
You will see them almost everywhere you go.There is no shortage of them at all.Right from traffic signals,roads,pavements to temples,churches,mosques and public parks,gardens,railway stations;they are found everywhere.
Wondering who I am talking about? Well,I'm talking about those people who are found in almost every city of our country.Those,without whom our nation would be incomplete(or maybe not).Those,who bang the windows of your car whenever it stops at a red-light.If you haven't guessed it already,then let me tell you that I am talking about the beggars of our country.
And the profession that I am going to elaborate about is,obviously,begging.
Once you take to this profession,your kith and kin follow suit.Then,there is no looking back.The advantages of being a beggar are numerous.Here are some of them:
1.No investment is to be done.
2.All the money that you get is profit.
3.Other than cash,you also get paid in kind.
e.g.leftovers,old and torn clothes,rags,blankets with holes etc.
4.You don't get constantly nagged by your boss.In fact,you,yourself are the boss.
5.People sympathise and pity you.
6.(Now,this is perhaps the most important advantage)
You don't have to pay any kind of tax to anybody.
Now that we have seen the advantages,let us look at the disadvantages.
1.You lose your dignity and respect.
2.Most of the people ignore you and turn up their noses at you.
3.At times,the so-called 'salary' is quite low.
4.Mostly,you have to spend your life on pavements,roads etc.
Let us now look at the educational qualification that is required if one wants to become a beggar.
1.Good news!Good news!Good news!There is practically no educational qualification required if you aspire to become a beggar.Right from an IITian to a child who has failed in nursery school,anybody can beg for alms.There is no age limit,as well.
You may be deaf or dumb or blind or lame or all four simultaneously,but these conditions cannot occlude you in fulfilling your dream of becoming a beggar.As a matter-of-fact,differently abled beggars earn much more than those,whose body parts are in their right places.
According to your inclinations and wishes,you may become a full-time or a part-time beggar.
Always remember that a successful beggar is one who can win the sympathy of others by either fair or foul means.You may not be blind,but you can always close your eyes and pretend to be one.Only then will people notice your presence and give you some money.
Being a beggar is a laborious job.You have to put up with people who throw coins at you.They think you're a beggar(well,actually you are.But remember,you are a dignified beggar).Never pick up coins thrown at you(I mean,only in front of those who throw them.Show them that you've got just as much self-respect as they have.After they go,you can always pick them up.The coins aren't running away anywhere).
Now,we come to the most important aspect.The 'salary',of course.As I have already said somewhere,people donate in cash as well as in kind.So,you may not get money,but so long as you get two square meals it is perfectly fine.The turnover isn't much.But,that's okay.Isn't it?
For becoming a beggar,one does not need to have a good family background.All that one requires is will-power and courage.A strong belief in God is a must.You have to learn the art of emotionally blackmailing people in the name of God.I have never heard of atheist beggars...
Begging is an art not known to many.It is yet to be explored.So,how many of you are ready to roll in the mud,join this 'noble' profession and ask in the name of God?
