My point is, it isnt fault of the rich people in these cities that they are rich - coz thats what these statements abt mumbai indicate.<br><br>Shoba: not entirely convinced abt the correlation between saving and charity, one can save very well and donate as well..an indian in us can easily donate upto 50k without denting her pocket but may be our donations has been more in terms of materials based on community than monetary.Sachitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12204319715304258990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145347523908681798.post-37664018831791677062010-07-04T20:24:45.744-07:002010-07-04T20:24:45.744-07:00Charity begins at home.

To be frank, at the cost of generalising and stereotyping, I have found our makkal donating far less and I attribute it to the saving mentality that is imbibed into us from childhood. My two cents.<br><br>@Viswajith,<br> Poverty, crime in NYC is also showcased in many movies. Yes, I agree that to be charitable is an individual's choice , well... in a land of relative good and bad, IMHO,we consider people who are uncharitable as , for the lack of a better word, "not worthy".shobahttp://suroba.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145347523908681798.post-81391834378884611592010-07-04T08:04:27.050-07:002010-07-04T08:04:27.050-07:00look. to give charity and be involved in philanthr...look. to give charity and be involved in philanthropy is an individuals choice. but what I would like to say is, dont stretch your comparison to NYC and africa. even within NYC one has pockets which reek of poverty. just that there are ppl who never showcase it and as tourists we are obsessed about the good things in NYC.viswajith.k.nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15614588846529316723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145347523908681798.post-61194766241038123802010-07-04T07:11:44.072-07:002010-07-04T07:11:44.072-07:00Ya seriously :--(Humanity and empathy are really f...Ya seriously :--(<br>Humanity and empathy are really fading off and in their place are selfishness and capitalism.<br>I am not saying we should be communist, but we should give opportunity for people to develop and grow.SKhttp://ramblingsonly.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
