At some point in life you might have speculated - even if as a joke - if a beggar on a street earns more than you. Well, you might not have been wondering for nothing.
The news of a beggar¡¯s ¡®wealth¡¯ recently hit the news and now you can draw your comparisons. News Agency ANI tweeted: ¡®A fixed deposit of Rs 8.77 lakhs & around Rs 1.5 lakhs of cash (mostly coins) recovered by police from the residence of a beggar Burju Chandra Azad in Govandi, who died in an accident while trying to cross a railway track'.
Now obviously the man must have been begging for quite a few years but the dude managed to have almost Rs 9 lakh in fixed deposit! The beggar was a lakh-pati!?Makes me think if I should quit my job and hit the roads instead.? He obviously must have been spending some on his daily survival too.?
However, it is the Chinese beggars that are probably the most advanced in the world. Recently, it was announced that every beggar in China will have an individual QR code which people can scan to give them money. Well makes sense, everyone should be part of a cashless economy.?
