This is the story which i was a part of though only a guest appearance.But it has deep impact on my mind that i was compelled to write a post on it.
Life comes in all colors.If you have bright doesn't mean that every thing in this world is shining!
There are areas which are gray rather black.You never get a straight line in life.You have to join distant points to get a smooth curve at least.
It was an usual afternoon when i went to near by village to have some dabelies there. The shop was very famous in near by villages so i decided to try it.So I spent i guess Rs 12 to go from my village to shop(taking my scooter average to be 35Km/ltr) and had dabelies there !Three exactly costing me Rs 9!!
When I was leaving my house my grandmother told me bring some of her medicines from the medicine shop there! After satisfying my appetite i went to the shop to buy those medicines.
There stood a middle aged person, probably he was coming back from work. He asked for paracetamol(He just said 2 bukhaar ki goliyan dena ) When shopkeeper gave him two tablets he asked him for Rs 3.I realized that the man had severe fever.I just felt from his body language and body temperature that was so high that i could feel the heat standing there. The man thought for a while and then came a helpless voice nahn ek vapas rakh lo ek se theek ho jayega!!!
It took me by shock!!! Can anybody be so poor that he cant afford Rs1.50 in a country which claims to be one of the fastest growing economies of the world???Those Rs 21 were nothing for me but if i would have asked that man, it would have meant a lot for him.That day i just realized that we are fortunate that we got more than that we need to be content.
We are always complaining and just complaining, but have we ever thought of those who don't have anything!!!We are bored of same games but they have no options,we are not thankful for the bed we sleep in, they wish not to wake up, we hate vegiterian food, they starve from hunger!!! Consider a man doing labor work in those conditions. But when God gives you troubles ,He makes sure that you have enough courage to bear them.
Lets try not to fed this endless cycle of consumerism and immorality in which this modern,advanced and well to do society forget the one third of our brothers and sisters who cannot afford two meals a day.

hey bro now this is what you call a good blog...
this is the sad reality of life and i dont see it getting any better...
we all save Re. 1 on an auto but buy shoes/clothes in excess of Rs. 2000/-
we will never be able to justify it... that y do we take from the poor... and dont mind giving too much to the rich...
keep writing...good ones like this...
waiting for the next one...
Extrememly nice post.
The tragedy is India is even poorer.
In an age when crores are spent on weddings, people still die of hunger.
They starve uncared for.
Kidneys of the poor are sold to the rich and the doc calls himself a social worker.
It is strange the contrast between the two India's . At times it feels as if they are two different realities
