IF Narayan Reddy (FT 30/03) did the critical analysis his fellow letter writer Willard Miller did (FT 30/03), he would realise there is not “a lot of money in begging”, as he has been told.
The real reason why the elderly woman beggar Krishna Kumari had the “saving from begging” that she had from her begging since the 1970s is because of a frugal and thrifty lifestyle.
The “career change” Mr Reddy and his mates are “seriously contemplating” might not suit their extravagant lifestyle.
