			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Coming back to streets of lahore! i drive around at different place but when i come at any signal to stop my car, the beggars starts to come car by car for asking money. Well, in my heart i feel pain and help poor people asking for people, may be one or two rupee can do it. But as a society i have to think why these so many beggars are present at every signal and places asking for money. Are we really poor or potrait to be poor society.</p>
<p>The beggars on streets and roads of lahore are very organized and they are multiplying with time.<br />
i define the lahore beggars in few categories.</p>
<p>1)Old Beggars<br />
Amma jee and baba jee, the old people who come to you and ask for money.<br />
these old people use to accept anything whatever you give but some dont take money less then<br />
Rs.10 Rupee. This shows a new attitude in beggars due to high cost of living.</p>
<p>2)Family of beggars<br />
One lady holding son in one arm and asking for money, once you give some money to her<br />
her daughter will come to you, if you have given to her also, the son or another small child will come<br />
for asking more money.</p>
<p>3)Smart Beggars<br />
They come to you and asking for money by telling you a problem e.g.<br />
One person on bike come to you and ask u, pls help me as i dont have money to petrol<br />
Pls give me some money for bread or Pls give me some money for traveling back by home town<br />
which is out of lahore.</p>
<p>4)Newspaper Beggars<br />
The unsuccessful newspapers agency which no one bothered to read, they hired small boys for<br />
distributing newspapers on signals, if you dont buy the newspaper, they ask you for some money</p>
<p>5)Glass cleaner Beggars<br />
if you stop your car and the car is dirty, the small boy will come to your car and start cleanning<br />
if you tell him to stop, he wont, untill you really get angry. So the small boy will clean your front<br />
and back car window and come for asking some money.</p>
<p>6)Cursing Beggars<br />
These beggars have their own terms, they can be old person wearing rings or some snake-man who<br />
shows snake dances or it can be monkey-man, these low profile jugglars in early 80&#8217;s, earn money by show tricks but now they ask for money on signals or shops or coming at your home.</p>
<p>7)Accidental Beggars<br />
These beggars have some physical problem like arm or hand is not present or they dont have leg<br />
or burnt or some other physical or mental problem. I can understand, they might be requiring money<br />
and prefered on other people.</p>
<p>8)Naked Beggars<br />
These beggars are very few in lahore, few slices of clothes are present on their body and these old<br />
men are walking naked on main roads. Once one man was standing in center of main road facing to<br />
traffic and not wear clothes and yelling to the coming cars towards him. This incident recently happened few days back near link canal road joining Mall and Jail road.</p>
<p>9)Healthy Beggars<br />
These beggars looks quiet okay, who can work but they are asking money as they find its easy to<br />
earn money via begging.</p>
<p>Well, these all above people should be stopped, as they creating problems for themselves and us<br />
due to them, traffic jams can happen and we should not encouraged them by giving money as i think<br />
you can give money to really needy person who u know rather then on streets as these people play<br />
with your emotions. The police present on signals should stop such people on roads and we can stop them by not giving money.</p>
