]]> Comment on The Buddha moment by madhavi mullagiri http://madhavi.wordpress.com/2009/07/25/the-buddha-moment/#comment-211 madhavi mullagiri Sun, 26 Jul 2009 10:20:50 +0000 http://madhavi.wordpress.com/?p=53#comment-211 I too think many times like this. I saw a child, who beg after performing those hoop tricks when traffic stops, on a rainy morning drenched and shivering and crying out of the chill that was getting to her. By the time I stepped out to a bakery to buy some warm bun, she was off to the parallel street, sitting in front of a shop and still crying. When I spoke to the shopkeeper to help out with some clothes if they had, they obliged, and told me they know this kid, and she provides them the much needed small currency in exhange for larger currency, and that she earns 30,000 rupees a month, and that she was crying out of fear that her mother would beat her up that day if she did not get to her routine work ... 30,000 a month is more than what an graduate would earn on an average ... But see, this kid will grow too fast and contribute to the illiterate population ... Bad for her, bad for the nation I too think many times like this.

Had to comment. Sorry if this is a little harsh but most such kids seem to be part of an organised racket and are in the "business" for money, with their "parents". In the bargain, genuine cases will get left out, ignored, misuderstood. But take nothing away from the boy in the piece above, he IS facing the world allright. Perhaps in full knowledge that he could do better than this. Hmmm, a very compelling post. Had to comment.

I have noticed one thing though. The BESCOM guys will come even late in the night (though it usually takes them a few hours to come by because they have a few other things to fix too) but they will fix a problem in no time. They definitely have quite good skills and probably get paid much less compared to the IT guys in this IT city. samir Ha ha ha………good one…….

Coming to think of it, I also think we have just relegated Lal Bahadur Shastri to such a place that we dont even remember his birthday. His contribution to our nation was no less. samir Hi madhavi
