I am back.....!
Hi Friends,
Nice to be back to the blog once again. And at what time ??!! It is 3 a.m. here in Delhi and i am enjoying the first night after my M.A. first year. Time really flies and i am really filled with terror when i think that i have barely 12 months left for my Masters to end. So much to do.....So much to learn......
i would like to start this revival of the blog with two heart-rending experiences i had yesterday. As i was waiting anxiously and thinking about whether i would reach in time for my appointment, i saw a youth in a posh sedan open the door of the car. i wondered why he had opened it, when i caught sight of something......a crumpled ball of waste-paper! i immediately understood the gentlman's "noble" intentions. Yes, the road was a dust-bin for our young executive with G4 cellphone peeking out of his pocket.
Just when i was thinking of this, two ladies approached my auto-rickshaw (a three-wheeler mode of public transport pretty common in Delhi). To me, they seemed like beggars. The elder of the two asked me to give some money as the younger one was pregnant and she had to take her to the hospital. And the younger lady did seem to be pregnant. i did give the lady money, but she asked for more. i was not able to spare any more, so told her that. By that time the red light had gone green and my auto-driver made a dash with other vehicles honking behind us.
i don't know what has happened of the lady. Whether the child was born or not, whether it was all a farce, is none of my concern. i just want you all to be aware of the painful fact that human security is not good in our country. i don't want to criticize india. i know we have our limitations and don't want to shirk my responsibilities too. Just that we all don't turn a blind eye to some of the problems in our country and become insensitive, it is a small endeavour to make us all think.
i hope i have not made you all lose interest in this blog. In fact, i think this is a place for us to give vent to all such feelings and frustrations, and come together to think constructively. Let us make this place better to live in. Looking forward to your comments.
Kudos !

i agree to you Kshitij. But i was so shocked by the whole thing that it was the only subject i thought about throughout the day. The blog served the purpose of a safety-valve. i think we should bear all these experiences in our mind before doing anything, so that we are inspired to take measures against these evils.
As far as population is concerned, we all know our country is in the grasp of two major problems, poverty and inadequate education. We have to consider these and are presently focusing on these issues. Hope we get the opportunity to help our fellow countrymen get a better life.
Thanks for the comment. You are the first person to comment after so many days.
