Harsh Goenka reacts as man buys elderly vendor’s peas stock | Trending

There is a saying that charity should be done privately, a sentiment that many people agree with, including Harsh Goenka. So, when Pavan Kaushik bought an elderly vendor’s entire stock of peas, and shared pictures on Twitter, he received similar advice from Harsh Goenka. Kaushik, however, explained that his intention was to make people aware and inspire them to follow the same path.

“One day I met Amma Ji. Sitting on the side of the road and selling peas. I decided to purchase all the peas without bargaining and asked her to take a rest. It’s an amazing feeling to help others. Some acknowledge it and some still question it,” wrote author Pavan Kaushik while sharing a few pictures on Twitter. The pictures show Pavan Kaushik posing for the camera after buying the woman’s peas stock.
Harsh Goenka commented on the tweet and wrote, “If you do good, never capture it on camera – my advice.” To this, Kaushik replied, “…The purpose was to make people aware and support corporates, govt and NGOs. It was useful to make people aware that I myself follow the same path first.”
