A Desired Change

Going back to the college after almost a week is as difficult is eating the pizza and not getting the last bite . Anger , disappointment , and the feeling of rewinding the time .
Now that am sitting in the train , i wish i could spend some more time at home . I would miss my loving , caring, unpredictable mother and my angel - my dad . But this time am going of  the hope coming back after exactly a month with my terminal exams getting over . 
While waiting for the train on the platform , i realized i am sad because i have to leave home for just a while , with the fact of knowing that i would come back after a month . But there i saw people who had no HOME !
You never realize the importance of something until you see people who don't even enjoy that luxury that you take for granted . 
I saw a mother and her child sitting on the station platform . The girl gently asked her mother if she had something to eat . The mother gave her a 10 rupee note and asked her to get something for herself from any of the shops on the platform . The girl at once snatched the 5 rupee coin kept beside and told her mother that its enough , the month had just started up .
I felt really  bad and that very moment gave the girl a 50 rupee note and told her  to get  good lunch for her mother and herself . My dad asked me - " Do you really believe she is not gonna misuse the money you gave her ? " Yes dad . was my blunt answer . A person can't misuse the money he has when he is empty stomach .
I really want to do something for the children who work in different shops, glass factories , etc . I want to see an INDIA free of child labor .
I really do salute those thousands of people of work away from the limelight in their very own way to eradicate this . I really wonder if they would ever get their due credit for their work ! ( P.S. - Read  "Tamasha over Talent" ) .
Read an interesting story of how a lady in her 30's has done great work of eradicating child labor from the lucknow railway station . I don't have words to express how much respect i feel for her . At a time when everybody is interested in making money and scoring to fame , there are people amongst us who are interested in working to make our society a better place to live in .
India has still paved a way of getting some really well people who are supporting different  NGO'S and acting as great philanthropists .
I wish someday i can see my country as one which is free of Child labor and i want to do my bit in seeing this change .

    Make it a bit more inspiring and people will move, surely!! :)
    These are the things everyone wants to do but we see money as our money and are not ready to share! The time we understand that its not something which matters more than something that satisfies the heart, the eyes get new lenses!! :)
