Few days back I came across a very tiny incident but i am just not able to keep it off my mind for a single day. It was a end of normal working day. I was returning from my university with my daughter on the rear side. We both were enjoying the music on FM as we always do while driving. I stopped for the signal to go green. As I moved ahead two man came with the THELLA. They were carrying some iron rods. I nearly escaped the collision as they were on the wrong side and the signal was still green at my side. As I crossed that man, I was expecting some kind of sorry. To my surprise he shouted on me with so many abusive words. I was shocked but I was not at all annoyed. I got to look into his eyes for second or half. The asperity in his eyes was speaking. I cud feel the envy as if he was questioning me that why am I in that car and he in that bitter Sun. I felt fire in his eyes.As I reached my home I thanked god for whtever he has given and for whtever he cud hav given.
What would this man do with his children wife and other family members, when he reaches home after having a tough day. Do u think that he woud be able to see his son's scar while working in a glass factory? would he be able to see his daughter's crook feet while picking garbage bottles. He'll be left with no energy to see and feel all these.
This is really pitiful but more distressing is that we come across such people such incidences so often. I think at every red light u find 4 or 5 children. If we leave some star hotels we can find number of CHOTUS in almost evry eating place. The most important and the most valuable to us the Rag Pickers or Trash Pickers.
The list is endless.
For People who fail to arrange a plate full of rice or two chappatis cant even think of sending their chidren to school. They dont have to do anything with Act No 61 of 1986....
