Whatever happens.. happens for good..!!

May be it wasn't meant to be your destiny..
May be it just wanted to remain a small chunk of your destiny….
May be everything today for you sounds to be tricky..
May be this world to you now seems to be freaky….
May be worst phase has gone but some of it's unwanted moments still remain sticky..
May be now you no more bother of what's going on as you started living lonely and now no more a finicky….
May be it is really proving to be tough but believe me adversity is for short span only the atrocious moments make things messy..
But trust me life is unpredictable; a complete combo of joy and sorrow, every  phase has it's own latency….
And at times it's okay even if things are not going okay let the real you understand the harsh realities of life in this state of dormancy..
Eventually after this dormant stage I am certain that you come up with energy like never ever before and will become deterministic just like a crazy….
And the world will recognize you for what you are along with what all you faced but still raised by setting a perfect afflatus even after being creaky..

No choice but begging

At 56shops, 28th August 2015

A girl: Please give me some money. I'll buy something to eat.

Me: No I'll not give you money but if you are really hungry I'll buy you something to eat.

Girl: No but I need money.

Me: You said you were hungry.

Girl: Give me money I have to buy something for grandmother as well.

Me: What about your parents?
Please
Girl: I don't know. I live with grandmother.

Me: What is your name?

Girl: I don't know.

Me: Where do you live?

Girl: Nanda Nagar..

Me: That's too far from here. Why do you come here?

Girl: I get good money at 56shops.

Me: Your Grandmother asks you to come here?

Girl: No. I come by my own.

Me: Do you study?

Girl: I want to but I don't have time.

That was a moment which stuck me in deep thoughts..
She appeared to be around 7-8years of age, very weak in physical appearance yet full of energy even after a hot day. I desperately wanted to help her but I didn't wanted to give money. I was helpless. 
We know she could go to a government school where she will be provided with one time meal but what about her grandmother who was unable to work. All responsibility of her family was on her shoulders. Though she was begging on streets, but she did get something to eat at end of the day after all she had no choice because she couldn't be employed anywhere due to regulations prohibiting child labour. Now she has only one choice — begging. 
Lets assume a different scenario..
What if government prohibited child labour subject to certain terms and conditions, like they always do in other acts and laws like IT. If condition were like children could be employed at day time only if they attended school in morning or night, regularly or on alternate days. There attendace would be monitored to get them employment. I know many would be offending my opinion but i do belive that working at a good place and earning someting is far better than begging. Providing them work and earning opportunities only if they are regular to school will certainly help. Many people would be holding an argument that we can't ask children to work, but do these people really feel that children aren't working already. When they will have a fix amount coming in at the end of a day they would be less worried about what they will eat. Thus they will have some interest towards school. There are many success stories of people who started working at very young age and became pioneers in there field. So why not children on streets get a chance to earn something with respect. 
Some facts and figures..
I personally observed at 56 shops that number of children begging for money are constantly increasing. Towards end of august I noticed two girls who regularly wandered there. By end of September there were 4-5 children who were frequently observed there.. Somehow there numbers are increasing on streets this is the matter of concern.

Life is not just about B to D


We love.we fight, we care, we laugh, we talk, we understand, we succeed, we ignore, we fail, we teach, we learn. Wow! We human beings live such an amazing life. But have you ever realised engender of our existence? Although we homo sapiens may be considered the most superior in the universe. May be because we understand, explain, analyse and interpret through emotions. But our superiority certainly depends on a number of factors be it living thing or non living thing. Can you imagine a Hospital without patients? Can uh ponder of an organisation which comprise of only CEO with no employees? Obviously not. Similarly it's really unauthentic to think of our lives without producers.Yes Plants. From our birth till death, they are the real livings which help us to survive and occupy unique positions in this universe. Well life is a not just about B to D(I.e. Birth to Death). Their comes a C in amidst of it and C represents exactly our journey — the Cycle. This journey is again incomplete actually impossible without other living creatures. Be it plants or animals. Try to imagine a world full of only homo sapiens. Oh god! how pathetic it would be but even after knowing every future consequence in this digitalised world the so called educated people are busy in becoming money monger. People have become so self centred that we have deduced the most acceptable joint family concept into nuclear family and now we are at the verge of vanishing all the forest areas so as to get a comfy bungalow with a number of gadgets.This is how we have limited ourselves but people where are your moral values gone? When in school the kids were supposed to do plantation which gave them immense pleasure and today the same kid has grown up into a gentleman but instead of planting he is deforesting. What has happened to us? This is a peak time we need to understand and fix our problems. We need to abort such activities and stop being so cruel. Otherwise the world full of only homosapiens would be worse than the vampire world. We really need to understand the real value of other living beings too be it a small microbe or a giant date palm plant because if we are able to breathe today, if we are able to have the luxurious food in various outlets, if we have tempting dwellings. The main engender beyond this is Plants. So get indulged in planting and promote planting.

Successful Plantation drive completed.
