Charity begins at home kiddo :)

Driving down to my mom's place in the morning, I switched on the radio and started flipping channels to get some worthwhile music :) to listen to. A song caught my fancy on 93.5 FM from the movie 'We are family', the latest from the Dharma Productions stall. Came to know at the end of the song that RJ Malishka was interviewing Arjun Rampal (Hottie!!!). The conversation was on a very sensible topic which for once prevented me from flipping channels at the end of the song.

The Government has decided to have a 25% quota in all the high flying schools for children from low income groups. Interesting!! The bone of contention here seems to be as to who should pay the school fees - the government or the parents of the other students? Well if it is a government initiative then hell yes the government should pay for it as these schools have atrociously high fees (maybe from the commonwealth fund ;-) ) Otherwise, since most of the parents sending their kids to such schools are rich (barring some parents who put each and every penny together to send their kids to such schools), they should contribute to a common fund for kids who come from the low income group along with contribution by the school as well.

Malishka called up one rich daddy's girl studying in one such school and asked the girl what she thinks about this initiative by the government and guess what the kid said -'It's all good as long as my daddy doesn't have to pay for someone else's fees'. I was like :O! I mean what do these rich ones teach their kids? Charity begins at home kiddo! I think each kid should be taught this and Arjun thought so too :)
