Whose mistake it is and who is suffering from it…

Now days the weather of Hyderabad is awesome. So I decide to go to Necklace Road.
I was seating on a bench and enjoying the scenery. Two people were coming towards me, before I could realized they started asking money. When I looked at them they were human being, male but in female’s dress. I was looking at him he was looking wonderful. He was like us only. I smiled and asked ‘Why do you ask money? You have hands and feet then why do not you earn your bread and butter?’ his straight answer to me ‘Didi (Sister) society did not accept people like us therefore we have to ask money in this way.’ And he asked money one more time to me. With a smile on my face I said ‘I do not have money.’
He smile back and said ‘Didi the way you smile and said, we just want to see smile on faces.’ (Hindi – Didi koi baat nahi hum to insaniyat ke muskurahat ke diwaane hain, shukriya!) And they left me in thousands of thoughts.
I do not know I have seen people doing social work for street children, for beggars, for women, for handicap people, for farmer, for mentally challenged and what not…
But I never heard something doing for such people. I never had seen any body helping them.
I have seen people being afraid of them. I have seen the faces the ordinary people make when they appear in public.
I just wonder whose mistake it is and who is suffering from it…
