Nobody's baby!

- I thought why not get a few plants before rains (good one month away now)...so that they get well- settled in the pot for the rest of the seasons. Another thought came running by...whether its right to bring in new plants and then when you are away...no one waters them... and they dry away and die....it has happened before. Then, i recalled something i saw in crazy hot afternoon today when i was walking upto where i had parked my scooter and passed by a juice shop. It was swarmed with people...binging on juice, colas, snacks...wutever. And there was a tiny figure amidst these people....and i looked more closely to know what it was...'it' was a child of 4-5 wearing only pants...totally torn from all places and no shirt on. In such soaring temperature that twig like child had nothing on to cover himself. He was charred...head to toe...barefoot on the ground that must have been hot as a tin roof. The only light skin was his palm...a beggar's palm. How many of us have ever held out our hands in the way of begging...just to see how it feels.I tried it, it feels like just a step away from death. Asking for anything from anyone other than god is a torture beyond expression. And what if one is forced to do so and still people refuse to notice you. Thats what they did....completely shunning off the responsibility of a fellow human being if he is not related to u...even if that person is a little child....it didnt matter to them whether he lived on or ....Whatever i gave to the little one was too little or nothing compared to what a child so small deserves to have. How do i connect with people so completely desensetized, no wonder one feels drifting away like a pie of log into the high seas. Guys, they have enough stacked in their bank accounts, they are earning enough... much more than they consume but they hate the thought of parting with even littlest. They say its easy when you know your place in the world, but then the bigger question right now seems to be 'what's purpose of this world?'...its so much more of suffering....obviously, its not going to be pure fun like a picnic or camping...but dearth of resources could dry up humanity to such an extent.... India is supposed to be a country of people who believe in god....and we r all god's manifestation...and see, such an insult to god!! at every juncture insult god yet call urself a staunch theist, now thats quite skewed...our education has become flawed....and our resources are scant. Education is not getting degrees, talking jargons and earning with the single point focus to be the most loaded in the world. Shouldnt education make you feel more secured not just financially but also emotionally, to help you bring peace to not just self but to others. Education could make up for the scant resources. But how do u make urself heard?? nobody likes such topics...they find it all too didactic, boring. They just want to see ishaqzaade. where's that ishq goes for the world we live in and for people we live with.
