why can't we have concern for others ? On one side there are people throwing 
plates after plates of food in the dustbin and on other side there are people 
who cannot afford to eat one meal a day. I am coming from a poor family. We 
were three girls and two boys. Parents could not afford to give us much. 
Sometimes we ate cunji and slept. we never went for feast mass because we did 
not have proper dress to wear. In school some of my class mate had plenty and I 
often felt why is this that some have extra and others have not ? From poor 
class I reached middle class when I fell in love and got married. I was able to 
visit the gulf but i made it a strong will never to let power or money go to my 
head. Thank God for giving me a loving and understanding husband. One day my 
husband gave me notes of one lakh. I nearly fainted because I had never seen 
ten thousand rupees. That day on holding one lakh in one hundred demoniations I 
literary cried. I even cry now when I think of that day. This morning I just 
felt like going for mass and when praying the Our Father I got choked specially 
when I said give us today our daily bread .....I felt I should not ask because 
my Father who has given me everything. Good husband, shelter, food, clothings 
and enough children. That is the reason I think of my beloved unfortunate 
brothers and sisters.
