It was customary at night to extinguish the lamps. Whoever went to do that ( usually the woman of the house )would call out in the dark, " is there anyone starving out in the street?"....it was a practice then. Some lonely passerby without food might come and food would happily and generously be given to him. <br />Our ancestors knew it...this war, poverty, hunger would strike...they already showed us a way !<br /><br />nice thought provoking article !Sreeja Praveenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880818733065823251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367224821422137378.post-41210446914818107952013-10-06T23:51:47.428-07:002013-10-06T23:51:47.428-07:00i saw this video too...its kind of disheartening t...i saw this video too...its kind of disheartening to see that just like the rich get richer and poor get poorer, obesity is also on 2 ends of a spectrum. all the best for the UBC. :)preethihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13240151207964629294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367224821422137378.post-21932788119555762372013-10-06T10:51:21.223-07:002013-10-06T10:51:21.223-07:00Years ago I had visited B'lore ISCKON Mandir a...Years ago I had visited B'lore ISCKON Mandir and came to know of the Akshayapatra Foundation.

I fully agree that gap is wide in our society... malnutrition and child obesity, both are on rise..strange.
