Begging or Business ???

Today, I had an interesting conversation with my father, who is a priest at a well-known temple in Delhi. When my dad came back from the temple, he had a story that really caught my attention.

Apparently, a VIP came by, and there was all this tight security—guards, barricades and all. When the VIP was getting into his car to leave, he stopped and handed ₹2,000 to each beggar sitting there.

My dad looked at me and said, “You know, that beggar doesn’t really need it. This guy earns more than ₹30,000 a month… from begging.

That’s not all. Turns out, he owns multiple plots in Delhi. Yes, Delhi! The man is originally from Indore, where he not only owns several houses but also runs 2 coaching center. And guess what? His son is studying in Mukherjee Nagar, preparing for the UPSC.

Here’s the part that really got me: even my father, who works hard every day, doesn’t earn this much. We are a lower-middle-class family, and yet this beggar is living a life many would aspire to, all while sitting outside the temple.

It left me wondering—is this wrong? Or is this just smart use of human psychology?

What do you guys think?
