"The middle class in all countries give lip service to the poor, maybe make a donation, but do nothing to stop them from really being poor. The Grameen Bank gives them a chance to be self sufficient," he said. "Charity is demeaning to the poor. They can't afford the luxury of their pride so they take it, but if they had their way they would rather have a fishing rod rather than a fish." As if the marriage counsellor/psychotherapist practice and the Social Anthropology PhD was not enough to keep Bhatt occupied he is also in the process of getting a second PhD, this one in literature, which he hopes to have completed by the time he is 85. Five years ago, Bhatt published a book entitled How to Improve Your Marriage or Relationship in 90 Days and in his spare time he writes plays, including those entitled Socrates and his shrewish wife Xanthippe, Gandhi in Jerusalem, Wallenberg and more. Amazing achievements for someone who was supposed to have "I always look forward to the next year because there are so many projects that I can go on doing."
