Shakti said the lady asked for some money. Shakti noticed that she had several polythene bags next to her. When he asked what was in them, she replied that those were food packets. She complained to him that whenever she asked for help, people gave her food but no money for any other needs. He asked her why did she need money if there was so much food available.
