Beggars at Central Railway Station
I was dropping a few friends at the station today when we stopped for a tea before boarding.
A beggar woman - old and dirty came up to us asking for money, who we said no to. She turned around, mumbling something in a low voice and went to ask others.
She then returned back to us and asked again..we asked her to leave politely when she cursed us saying "Putting on all these fancy clothes for what when you cant even give some tea money".
We told her it was none of her business what we wear and told her to mind her own business. At which point shes screamed something back in some very crude way which none of us understood.
She stood there and kept yelling at us. She only left after we screamed back at her as well.
My friends were visiting Chennai, my home and this left us jnt a very bad mood before they left.
Saddest part is a policeman was in view the whole time, but didn't do shit. We didn't bother to ask why he didnt do anything either lest his ego got hurt and he gave us a tough time as well.
It's tough to love Chennai sometimes.
