What are you doing here, sitting and talking ?

A  pseudo -intellectual , highly opinionated, feeling concern for everything about India - the rampant corruption, poverty, injustice, pollution etc. met UG for the first time.

UG was in his elements talking about the mindset of people,  "You guys are actually jealous of rich people.You envy them and want to be like them! You could not make it rich like them, so you call them ugly.........."

The visitor burst out, " UG, don't you think poverty is real and the poor are exploited the most. I really mean it! I feel the pain when I see beggars on the street & those struggling in the slums.You mean we should just sit & watch and not  do  anything ?"

UG shot back, " Mister, if it is true that you really care for the poor, do you think you will have time to sit and discuss poverty like you are doing now? You will then be doing something. You will be out on the street or in the slum working with them , not sitting here and talking! The fact is  you are not really interested in doing anything at all! Get up & go! Don't waste time, yours or mine! Go do something for them, don't sit here and talk!"

In all the years thereafter, I never saw him even remotely broaching the topic!
