Hello Vijay, Its sickening to hear that story,a solicitor who should be trustworthy uses the position to exploit vulnerable people, but what is worse is that he is not charged.
Hi Amanda, Its really disgusting.I complained to the legal complaints commission and the Solicitors Regulatory Association but with no avail.These Quangos can only bark but never bite.Anyway No bitterness or any kind of malice.Life continues.May be it will be a blessing in disguise.It gave me the opportunity to write.I was guess speaker at the University of Connecticut and will do same at the Birkbeck college university of London soon about my experience of homelessness,Migrants and their vulnerability.Thanks for your comments. Vijay

The irony behind this fate is that the lawyer is also a mauritian.This is the same old lesson which teaches me never to trust anybody else other than myself, in whatever circumtances. Capitalism has no pity for the canard boité. This short-minded selfish lawyer is a good example of it. This economic sytem is based on efficiency. Time is money. So if I am not prepared to struggle against the stream of hardship laying on the road of life, I would then also belongs to the marginal society. I was also trapped in this same situation in France. As my student visa came to expiration, I was left with only my shirt and my trousers I had on me and some centimes in my wallet. No indian restaurants, no indian people, no friends were there! I was totally lost and depressed. I hungered for more than a week. But I never ever wanted to die hard. I did everything my way. I took my destiny in my own hand. There were no time for me left to shed the crocodile's tears. Thank fate I have not ended my life as a homeless beggar. To day I am not a millionaire but I earn enough money to pay my rent and buy some food. I did not wait for the mountain to come to me. I think the more a country is culturally, religiously, economically developed, the more the weak and mentally lazy people are likely to get a better social treatment and protection relatively. This is the case in europe. Besides, I must admit that many many europeans have a good heart. Let's not get deeply involve now into this subject and talk about the fate of all the homeless poor people in countries like Africa, India or even Mauritius. These countriers need more reform over the protection of the homeless than any other land in europe. I belong to a mauritian family whose financial situation at that time was extremely bad. We had to live from hand to mouth. But we fought hard and we never died of hunger. I really believe you are not the type of man who is predestined to become a beggar. I am sure you are prepared to work hard in order to earn your living. But the thing is that, like many of the mauritian who dream of a better life abroad, you you were at the wrong place at the wrong time. The same thing happened to one of my cousins who went to England at the time when the laws on immigrants were tighten by the governement. So two years afterwards he had to choose between London, where he would have probably lead the life of a homeless beggar, or to return back to Mauritius.The dream was over. He is now doing business in Mauritius. Wherever you are in the world you will have to forge your destiny yourself. Your argument that Mauritius has changed, and offers not enough opportunities for a better living for people like you, is an old music. If you are willing to shape your future, there will be always a better place for you on earth, on condition that you are willing to content yourself with little.
