THANKS Mr anonymous

Thanks dear anonymous for wishing me good luck for my results.I congratulate you for your great work for street childran.It is great because the medium where you are working is full of professionals where maximum people are concerned of their own betterment and zeroed to their kith and kins only[Please don't misunderstood me].I think India needs people like you in much quantity at every strata and in every profession to create an example which can be emulated by fellow persons.Thanks for giving me your valuable time and writing comment.I will appreciate your views on making this blog more lively and intresting to the readers.

DON'T PREACH,LET US DO SOMETHING NOW

Once again I thanks to the keen readers of my Blog to express their views neutrally which is the real purpose of this blog as it also bears the name....I promise to publish all the comments from all the readers however harsh it may.
Yesterday night I returned from Roorkee[Uttarakhand] after appearing for UT PCS exam.I saw numerous incidences of poverty along the route from Delhi.It is not only interiors of UP or other states but the scenes outside the Old Delhi railway station [specially in a narrow street filled with fruit shops and people in filthy and dirty conditions].I sanked in to deep thoughts.I thought various causes ranging from failure of delivery mechanism,population growth,rural-urban divide,regional imbalancesn,etc and their solutions like check on population,effective delivery mechanism,sensitisation of the people and civil servants,PURA,etc.
When I was thinking all these things and analysing its pros and cons suddenly One cute but innocent face appeared infront of my eyes asking for buying "CHANA PYAJI" for minimum RS 3/-......I refused thinking it unhygenic and full of dust;that kid left with sad face as nobody else bought.One thought sparked in my mind "DON'T PREACH TOO MUCH Mr Manmauji,do something".Infact this is true.We usually comment and criticize on what is happening but avoid to render some help to needy.Things will change only when We will standup and strat doing something.Now stop preaching and start doing something for the people of the country.
I am happy and thanks to one of the reader who wrote about his work for street children along his work in software firm.Keep it up and guide others for the same.
I am waiting for the results of UPSC and state PCS.I feel if i will enter in to system I can change few things atleast for the betterment of public and stop preaching.

A COMMENT FROM A READER ON ISSUE OF CHILD LABOUR

I really appreciate the effort which you made to at least visit these sites and get the first hand information. Other wise these are more or less drawing room discussion where we make verbal efforts, sympathize with these poor lots, criticize the government and scorn the Bureaucrats. It’s good to know that child labor has diminished in the area but at the cost of what?I would like to add something to your observations which might not be as valuable but at least give me an opportunity to express my views.What ever we are witnessing in terms of appalling conditions of these poor deprived souls in the cause of another disease which is plaguing the states of UP Bihar MP .....and the list goes on ,is the lack of economic development of these states. I guess majority of parents of these children would not like to see their sons and daughters toiling under the hardship of horrendous working conditions. Their hearts must be pining to see the innocence and childhood of their little ones withered by the harsh realities of poverty. No doubt we frequently hear the stories of many children are freed from the captivity of their employers and sent back to their home. But this is just one half of the story. We do not know what happens next. Do we really care to know why they have been pushed into this ugly system of child labor? Only by freeing them from their captivity and punishing their unscrupulous employer have we done our duty. Sometimes I do feel that by victimizing the employer are we not blocking their (poor children and their family) means of sustenance. Had we created enough opportunities for the poor to feed their families then would such situation have risen .Have we really freed them from burden of child labor or unknowingly we have expedited their degradation by creating opportunities for them to become criminals? Have we created a catch 22 situation where we won’t let you work so to earn your bread “Please Beg, Steal, Rob or Kill”. If given an opportunity and means these peasants would also like to get their child educated. But first thing first they have to have something in their belly to make them think.As we know democracy is of the people for the people and by the people .We very well emphasize on the significance on words” of the people and for the people but conveniently forget that it is “BY” the people. As we know the future of human being lies in his own hand (obviously GOD help those who help themselves).Our future lies on our index finger .We make the Politicians they make the policies and then they twist the laws them we complain and the circle keeps on repeating it self. Instead of complaining and whining why not uproot the cause of all ills. We seldom get what we deserve but we get what we want. People in power are corrupt because we support corruption. We want to make our life easy because it requires character to so say a big no what is benefiting us but is immoral. We know power flows from top but is supported from the bottom. And it is the will of the people in power which can change things. And this requires the will of the common man to have such people in power. It’s a simple transitive relation. A=B, B=C then A=C.We want proper clean governance = People in power should be clean and of progressive mind setPeople we elect are Corrupt = We get a corrupt and aimless governanceHenceWe want proper clean governance = We get a corrupt and aimless governance (This is what happens)To elaborate if we take the example of UP its really sad to see the amount of money spent on decoration of parks and statues which do not generate a single penny but perennially consume resources for their maintenance. Any economic initiative is devoured by the monster of dirty Politics (e.g. Reliance retail).The result is people flock to Mumbai in search of job and get thrashed by another breed of Franken steins. So these poor end up loosing their jobs, lives and self respect.I know a common man cannot change this over night but at least we can make our effort to choose right kind of people who represent us and influence the future of coming generations. We as a common people can at least make our effort to choose the kind people with some integrity and vision and who are at least a bit above their self interest.But problem doesn’t end here the next complain is where to find such people especially in an environment where Politics is the first and best refuge of a scoundrel.So my dear friend it has to be one amongst us. We don’t want to compromise our careers and fat salaries, we do not want take extra pain to mend the system, we want somebody to do it for us. When we go to elect people do we sincerely analyze their credentials or we support him just because his sir name is singh, yadav , khan ....... Do we really think objectively or do we help others to think objectively.So what I conclude what we are addressing is a symptom or outcome which has its cause lying somewhere else. And the cause is WE. Before fighting them fight with yourself. And stop sympathizing with poor and start blaming your self. Unless we start holding our self accountable I promise nothing will change.Thank you for your time and patience.
