"Fuck...I have to wait for 60 seconds."

It was already 5:55 pm and I had only 5 minutes to pick up Dina and reach Interface(Its a popular Java training institute in Bhubaneswar).

Just 2 meters away, a beggar, actually a beggar family, was standing near the divider. This was not the first time I saw them. This is because, these beggars were professional and they had already made the Nalco Square their temporary home. I tried to guess something about their family. Their family might consist of a mother beggar(who always stands near the divider and never begs anything from anyone) and nearly half dozens little beggars who are going to be the future beggars of our society. The father beggar might have abandoned them All those little beggars were looking alike, talking in some funny language. Their language reminded me about Abinash.



Suddenly, a little beggar came to me and asked me for some money in Hindi. hmmm......in future these beggars are really going to be successful. I gave nothing as usual. Then he went near a Maruti 800 . This time some one from the front seat gave him a half eaten Ice Cream. Unfortunately it fell down. But little beggar picked it up and ran to the other side of road. He ate that happily.

The traffic lights became green and I started my bike and crossed the traffic post.

I remembered the phrase "Ignorance is bliss". I have read it in a Philosophy Community. If u know little about something, u r going to worry little ab that. The little kid was not aware of the fatal disease causing bacterias, the ice cream had when he picked it up from the road. He was living like a dog. He was only eating, sleeping and playing. He was not worried about the future.
His life was really blissful.

I stopped thinking and moved fast. I had to reach in time.
