Thank you Imp for your response..... Was wondering if you had read it at all.

As for the bottle....I was merely suggesting a possibility based on the normal trend that's present in today's world. If it has offended you, then.... I'm sorry. But no harm meant.

And about taking note of people... well, that's a very hard thing to do. There was a time when I used to meet a poor old woman who used to sit by the church gate and beg. I was broke then, and I used to tell her that I couldn't help her by giving her anything. And she used to get offended. Ans slowly I began to talk to her frequently. The best part was that I couldn't understand her language (we have umpteen languages in India) and she couldn't understand mine. It was more like sign language from my part. But this bent up old lady would wait for me to come there freuently and start pouring out all that she kept in her heart to share with me. She used to be so ecstatic by the end of each session that I got used to enjoying it too. And finally if I'd give her any money she'd take and give it to another beggarwoman near by.

This used to confuse me quite a lot, and in time I began to realize that it was friendship she sought. This is just an example of what I've been trying to explain. Feel the needs of others. It's not that you don't have anything to give.

And for them to help themselves.... if we who are educated and have an advantage start in life can't make ends meet, how can they who are deprived of almost everything in life except their life help themselves. Think about it.
