The apple never falls far from the tree

हाँ मैंने देखी, 

कुदरत की ना-इंसाफ़ी देखी। 

रोटी के टुकड़े को तरसते लोगे देखे। 

और कहीं मनों के हिसाब से बिखरे सेब देखे। 

कहीं कूड़े पे पड़ा खाना भी है हलाल, 

और कहीं  चिड़िया भी चोंच न लगाए ये है हाल।

There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread. ~Mahatma Gandhi

When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.~ Dom Helder Camara

  5. we have some stores here that fill grocery carts every day of breads and rolls and boiled eggs and cut up fruits that didn’t sell that day, and distribute them to the soup kitchens and needy people through the town. It is such a beautiful act of generosity. all the foods are good and not spoiled at all, just like if we had the breads etc. at home, we would continue to eat what we couldn’t finish the same day. So these hungry people get good nourishing foods daily from the stores.

  11. Beautiful photo!
    Powerful, important messages. Yes, we must share and help when it comes to feeding those who need help. We have many ways here including a community garden that raises food and gives the veggies and fruit and eggs to those who need it. Pre-Covid I volunteered there for years.
