I usually get free around 6:30 pm from my office in Okhla. And it takes me 35 to 45 min to reach to Dhaulan Kuan (probably half of my battle with heavy traffic is won at this stage). The only neck breaker or else the worst jam I am usually stuck is at Kirbi Place red light. Standing motionless for about 10 - 15 mins and see the traffic in the opposite direction passing by. Four children all in the age group of 6 - 12 years are waiting for the vehicles or else cars to stop, so that they can earn their living. One of them is selling flowers and others small toys of children. Its worthwhile to mention that they are probably having one the best negotiation skills.
The question now that needs to be asked is that how come they are in possession of such expensive toys and great fresh looking flowers. I am diverting from my topic , which is, what is the fault of them that they are in this particular situation. Does god any time see how much suffering or pain his own children are facing in this world.
Same was the condition at Nehru Place where children present at them were even not having clothes to wear, and we including me were busy having a great lunch. How pathetic. Is there any way we can help them, or just we can watch them as mute spectators and see them passing by in the our back view mirror...
Are we at such a position that nothing seems worth while to us in this world.. And we can laugh at ourselves for being help less, immature, self centered, egoistic creature...
God Knows....Lets hope and give them a chance to feel how special they are to us and to this world. And perhaps you out there reading it can start a change..As the change to begin and improve is within...
Stay blessed my friends..Hope you are not poor at heart, mind and self confidence.
you r leaving us in storms what we will do without you
