Too (2) innocent lives

My car stopped by, at the traffic signal point.....he knocked at the glass pane of the car..... i opened it to see a boy of about 10 years staring at me with a months old baby in hand expecting the so called money ..(the element which draws a very narrow gap between the rich and the poor.........between a palace and a slum.......and sometimes between life and death..!!)...no parents to look upon them....parents left them out of utter poverty but he (10 yrs old kid ) dint leave his sister(baby).....he is still protecting her.....by begging for money to feed her milk...While his innocent eyes stared at me,those of his sister were close.she was having a good siesta on the towel on which he was catching her,while he was burning in hot sun of midday India ......he was almost dancing as he stood on a hot tar road bare footed......the heat of his body was compensated by the cool and pleasant breathe of his sister.hope she never grows big...... at least not to watch the condition of many brothers and sisters like the one of her own .... at least not to watch the condition of the country where the richest city has got largest slums........where people do charity mostly out of passion towards popularity.....atleast not to enter the world where people tend to lose millions and millions of money on share market thoughtlessly  but think a million times to extend a hand of help even for a penny....and many more thoughts rolled into my mind in a span of few seconds.as i gave him little money and he left...... then suddenly something happened .....the girl dint open her eyes and can never again...nor can her brother.....they were hit by a vehicle and as i ran into the crowd i saw that the baby was still in his hands firmly gripped resting on his chest and the 20 rupees note which i gave them came flying back drenched in the blood of two innocent lives.

There are many things which mankind is unaware of. Some stories which are not discussed in the history perhaps because they were infamous and not known to the people of its own time. One such story is of Surya and Meenakshi. Long ago in the year of 1896 there lived a girl 16 years old with the name Meenakshi, beautiful and adorable. Her education was discontinued at an earlier age as the attitude of people of that time remained. But she was fortunate enough to at least study till initial girls gurukul schooling. She was beautiful, elegant with thick long braided hair almost touching her knees, fair complexion, and big eyes resembling lotus petals, sharp nose and sweet voice. She had all qualities required for a beautiful Indian bride pre-installed in her. Her life went on smoothly with no complaints and no regrets, happily swaying away with the tune of fate and destiny. She used to giggle and have fun with her friends (girls). She was not allowed to talk to boys except for her fath...

In country like India full of diversity there is a complete need for every citizens wish to be fulfilled by the government.It is in fact its first and foremost duty to satisfy the needs and put an end to the emergencies prevailing among the people which helped in the formation of the government .Even a tribal person who has got the nearest booth too far away and who needs to spend Rs.10 out of his triple digit monthly income does not hesitate to come all the way and casts his vote and gets his stressed hands marked with black ink with a little hope in his wet eyes on remaining part of his years to live which he believes will go good if the government helps .He hopes that though he could not have the life of an educated person who can happily live under the fan and ac inside a closed room with due respect in the society ,at least his further generations may have .His only wish is that his son and daughter should not have the same feet with...
