i usually dont write on a social causes because i seriously do not feel that writing about such a thing & doing nothing about it will help.there are people around me who has romanticized poverty,child labour,etc.I somehow never took an attempt to do the same as people who wants to lend out their hand will do it in either case & those who wont will not do it even they read all these.its sad.
people who have been to park street have seen small girls & boys selling lottergum for rupees 10.i have also seen them innumerable time.but never helped them in recent times since i do believe that buying from one would lead to attracting many kids & with my limited funds i would not be able to help all.last saturday when we were planning to move to peter cat after a long wait in front of music world i saw a small little girl approaching us with bunch of Lottergum..as i am always pre-determined on few things before even she could ask me take one i had asked her to move away..but that small girl bound by hr habits kept on nagging..& then suddenly my friend saw that the little girl gets dimple in her cheek!!
i noticed & saw a very pretty girl in front of me.we never actually bother to take a proper look at those small kids who spends such a different childhood..far different from what we had.that small kid was wearing minimal clothes but she looked like an angel in disguise.we started talking to her.when asked whether she studies or not she exclaimed that a lady comes to teach them..them signifies few more kid who are her colleagues & some her siblings!!i was not much surprised as i myself was attached to few NGOs whodid volunteer such works!!i asked her about so many things & she kept on answering..& few of my questions actually brought stars in her eyes...small bright stars!!i was gradually falling in love with my little friend.
with so much to talk & know bout her i got the alarm from my friends that we got to move.i then asked her to give me one of the gums that she sells & gave her 10 rupees extra.i asked her to keep it for herself.she looked at me.no stars in those bright eyes & quite blankly said "amar chai na,didi..ora niye nebe..tumi boron amar bondhur theke ekta keno..or ektao bikri hoi ni"..!!her one statement made me feel that she has so many things to tell!!may be she knew about this world & her complications more than any one present there!!i was amazed!!she called her friend & i bought from him..she was happy & so was him..an unsaid flow of love happened between the pair of eyes..!!the guy ran away & my angel said "didi tumi khub bhalo.." & she fled away..
her running away made me realize that we can do a lot of things may be not with money but with time & we ont even realize that.we dont even have the time to think!!once hen i suggested my friend to adopt a child then he said that he wont do one because that my lead to a dissatisfaction within other children that why were they not adopted!!i was shocked at what he said & then quite silently thought that people nowadays think this way!! moner dorja ta choto hote hote ekdin bodhoi bondho hoi jabe..i dont know what message you get from this write but would suggest all of you to just think once..think how much we can do!!!
