A train journey down the memory lane!!

I dont know why i am writing this, probably m too vella or jus too bored and have nothing much to do at this point of the day or night. It was sometime in the month of January, last year, I was travelling to Chennai from my very dear VELLORE in a general compartment of a train. the fact that i was alone made me look at the surroundings, observe people and trust me whatever i saw was not pleasing, nothing unusual or nothing weird or funny. It just happened everyday and we have never noticed it.
Travelling in a general compartment would probably make anyone think out of the box, if one has the time or intentions to do so. One would really not bother about the sensex touching the 20k mark or for that matter comin down to 9k or who won the formula one championship or who won the US elections, what Obama thinks about India. These people there, would really not give a fuk, pardon my language, but they really wont. Or jus the fact that they're busy thinking about something else, something like how they would be getting their next meal, whether they might end up sleeping hungry in order to feed their kids, a meal which would really not consist of a burger from mcdonald's or a pizza from domino's, It be plain roti and dal or jus some rice and sambhar, and if they're lucky they might jus get another dish. Children crying of hunger, their parents trying to find something to eat for them from a chips packet i had just thrown. or drinkin those last few drops of the pepsi bottle i had jus finished. I thought to myself, damn!! m lucky!!

But i didnt start this because i wanted to bring forward the poor part of India. of course we all want to look at the positives, dont we. We'd like to look the no. of malls coming up, no. of outlets pizza hut has in an area in order to assess the development of the region, and the country on the whole. or we look at 'Rupee' vs 'dollar' graph and say India is SHINING, but we're lookin at the positives, arent we.? and these are the positives. but the fact remains that about 70% of the population earns less than a Rs. 50 a day or a dollar per day. and the growth in the agriculture sector has come down from 4% to 2%, a sector where about 52% of the population is still involved.
I am not telling you to act on it, leave all your work, and start working for the upliftment of the society.No!!! i am not doing that nor do i expect you to do such a thing. Obviously we have our families, our own problems to solve. But all i am asking you to do is just keep all this in mind. Think about this. and your actions themsleves would make India a better country to live in.

I was always proud to an Indian. and now even more!!!
On this note i sign off. Jai Ho!!!

thanking you
Your SuperHero!!
