Sometimes i keep wondering about things when I'm alone...About what?...about the things that go wrong around me...about the wrong happenings in the world and many more such thoughts...i always kept thinking as to where should i write all these things..I'm happy...finally i found a place to unwind those little monstrous imaginations...well, not really imagination but lets call it thoughts...

Yesterday I was on my way from Dadar and from the bus I seen an old man( picture used for representing basis only)...that man was in his late 60's, pushing himself towards his old age. The blood from his eyes had almost dried up, his face displayed the helplessness that he carried all the way...and somewhere things were going wrong, even in the heavy traffic his he tried to push himself through.

This may be so obvious for people who do not see the world through others eyes, but i see a very different pain here. In the heavy traffic area, the rains lashed the road, and between expensive cars and Bikes stood this man, so very different, completely drenched pushing his cart that carried iron rods. As the traffic stopped he would look at his bleeding hands and rub them against each other and see it again. I wondered why he did that and then he caught the iron rod again that was completely rusted. He looked so haggered and sad, i could see a little tears in his eyes, he stood stationed at the same place trying not to hit any car and bikers were telling him to shift from there...and in a moment in time the signal was green and my bus drove ahead...and the man vanished before me...

Sometimes we just do not want to see the world the way it is...i don't know if that's the case with everyone. I don't know if i must feel pity or should i ignore or should i simply get out & help and if none then can i face myself?? there are many things that we come across in our everyday life...some we ignore, some we don't want to see, some we just go away from & some just become a matter of our daily routine. What should one do in such a situation...

I am in a very puzzled situation...sometimes if i think of unemployment in this country i see this old man working much, much more than he should...and when i think of people like the old man i think if he doesn't work who will feed his family? there would also be more unemployment and then only work will pay you...I just cannot decide on what really is the solution to this??

I agree everyone must work but government has passed a rule that a person retires after a certain age, then why are people still getting exploited? I know that this is a cheap mode of transport but then just to save a little money on logistics does your conscience allow you to drink a man's blood in bargain?? Anyways how much money are they going to save, a lakh that can fill his family stomach's for a life time?? then what about that poor man?? can't he be given some work that will also keep him at his rest and your work also been done?,...Do es he find only aged people doing this?...business is one field i never want to go into...because in the name of money the rich always exploits the poor...at the age where a man has to spend his remaining life with his family he works, works until he breaths his last...what's the use? we say 70% of our population is poor then will extracting everything from those with few can make India Developed??....That's The Question....THINK...
