Its on last Monday (12-Jan- 2009  ), I was waiting for bus to office at around 9Am. I  didn’t get any bus to office after for more than 10 mins. Then my friend and his room mate came and was planning to go by auto. I asked them to wait for 5 more mins. Meanwhile one bus stopped at the bus stop which was not ours and i didn’t notice the passenger’s who were getting down from the bus. After some 15-20 sec i saw this man standing in the bus stand and had some problem. He was blind and he had his stick with him. Then my friend called me to go by auto. I told my friend to wait and went to this guy. I asked him where he wanted to go and he told me that he wanted to got postal office, which was there opposite to this bus stand. I helped him in crossing and while we were crossing the road he was asking me in Hindi, whether i had my breakfast. I told him that I’ll have it at office and I asked him back about his breakfast and he told me he had. He asked me to take him till the gate of the post office. I took him there and asked him whether its fine. he told ok, but still he had to take more steps to reach the door of the office and there were steps also. So i took him till the door and told bye to him. I felt very good when i did a help to that guy before i started my work. I felt very good when my day started by doing some help to that guy.  But i felt little bad when i couldn’t help in the purpose for which he came to post office. Hope he could complete his purpose at the post office without any hassles.

Emotions

Yes i did that again!! I don’t know why i involuntarily do that whenever i see that scene. I tried not to do that, but i couldn’t.

I did that, then i tried to hide it from my friend who was using the system and was busy with his movie which he was watching in comp. I succeeded in hiding my emotion from him, but this time also i failed to control my emotions. There are times when even tough people will be finding it difficult to control their emotions,which they find not to expose to others. And i did it again.

Yes, I cried again, without any physical pain. I remember i used to do this always when i see this scene.God knows whats the magnetic effect in that scene that is pulling the tears out of my eyes. But truly telling from experience, after you cry you will feel better and its like the “refresh” in your computer.Every time i cry i used to think, when i cried last time. Truly telling no one like to cry, more than that no one like to face a situation which make them cry. But this particular situation i like to cry every time and i feel better to do that. I feel i can at least cry for them, or its a reminder for my duties for my society. Yes its my “Reminder for my Duties” to My Society, My Country, My fellow Young Brothers and Sisters.

Once again i watched the movie “Swades,We, the People(2004)”, one of the marvelous work by Ashutosh Gowariker after his block buster movie Lagaan. Where Lagaan speaks about the spirit and team work of one bunch of people before Indian Independence, i felt proud to be an Indian. The only thing that was lacking in that era was that we were under British rule. But swades, which is a most modern movie, telling about the story of Modern India. I’m happy to say that we are living in an Independent India. But the bad thing in this modern civilised India is Poverty.In both the movies, there was a sick point that the director tried to dig out and he completely succeeded in that effort.And i liked this bollywood movie because i felt that this is one of the very few bollywood movie which had a strong story and script which made the people think that the Hero Sharukh didn’t had much to do.And this didn’t show off the style of the hero that disappointed the hi fi movie watchers. Due to this reason it was an average movie in bollywood , but for me its a wonderful movie.

That scene, i can’t forget in my life. One kid , around the age of 9 or ,selling water to the passengers in the train, when the train reaches a rural station,somewhere in North India. Heartbreaking scene and the most touching scene that i have scene in any movie. May be people get sympathetic after seeing some horrible scenes, like death, torturing and all, but this was such a scene that the message was conveyed without showing any physical harm.He sells one cup of water for just 25 paise, and the way he sell the water is so heart touching. He walk from one side of the platform to the other end and shouts at his full volume “pachis paisa ek glass..paaani lo paani.Saab, ek glass pani lo na(water for sale.one glass of water for 25paise.SIr,please take one glass water)”. The shot starts when the train is approaching the station and along with the train, this guy also runs towards the platform.He is not stopping to take his breathe,instead he shouts at his full volume. At last he finds the customer in hero and the hero, who usually carries a bottle of mineral water with him always, buys the water from the guy. He gives the money afterward and soon the train starts. Meanwhile the guy counts the money in his and most of them are coins. That curious face of counting his earning is so heart feeling, that you will literally cry.If not it may be my problem that i cry for silly matters.

I recently saw in a website discussing about this movie and a curious viewer asking the question “whether this is true in India and whether is this scene too much exaggerated.”. A country like India which has most modern weapons, nuclear bombs, highly ranked intelligent brains and all, but also the other side is similarly highly pathetic. The golden words repeats here “Rich become Richer and Poor become Poorer”. And very pathetic thing is that the question was asked my a lady from India. Come on man, in which India you are leaving. Can’t you see the world around you, or are you pretending to be blind to these situations.

Whatever it be, there is this serious issue of poverty and child labor India. Without eradicating poverty we can’t blame on the practice of child labor also. Its time for the action and i feel please help the the kids at least who are finding it difficult for finding their food for one day.

Please help them.
