Just wanted to share this experience with you all that pinch me inside every time i think of it. On my way to office every single day, when my office cab passes through the road that leads to Push Vihar and stops for a while at the red light there, amongst lot of salesmen trying to sell petty goods that no one even cares to look at, there is an old lady wearing a thin clothed salwar suit and a very old pair of chappals going from car to car and pursuing people to buy few of her magazines to buy with a pasted miserable smile on her dry lips and pleading eyes...she goes from closed window glasses of one car to another car trying to view inside with a hope that somebody will have mercy on her and will buy her stuff and I am pretty sure no one does..and why to blame anyone else..even me myself who is now writing my blog with her pityful story through noticed her but could not go ahead and buy her magazines...Its been few months that very often I see this lady whenever I get to pass from that very red light...and my mind made me think what a shame oh her children that she has to come on roads and sell articles in such an old age.
Just last friday, once again i saw her and that without a single woollen on her frail body, once again going from car to another with same pleeding eyes and pasted smile...I could do nothing but again couldnt prevent myself from feeling guilty for not helping her earlier, tears rolled down my cheeks and I was compelled to think why on earth some people have to face so much pain and struggle whereas there are people who are so rich that simply don't really know where to spend the money and they throw it in pubs and discotheques spoiliong that money and life too ........who gives a damns to all these disparities???????????????????
The irony is those who have heart to help, don't have means and those who have means, don't have heart big enough to help their own countrymen and the same people talk about patriotism and love for the country and its people. In these fasttrack metro life, people are so busy with their own lives that they hardly have time even to stop and look what is happening around them.
