One of the comman sites in Delhi is a small child on a crossing asking for a rupee or two, it really touches me and i wonder what could be the possible solution to this long lasting social problem in India. But i have never been able to think of a solution for this. Although i strongly feel that we should not promote this and fight out this evil, but then are we prepeared find out an alternative job/work/school option for these minor children. I dont think we are. We cant just blame the Govt. also as they also have their own limitations and the worst part is even if the primary education is given to these children will that be enough for them to find a respectful job/standing in the society, in todays competative world where finding a job for an MBA is also difficult how can these poor children with almost no social/family/society backing can struggle out after the primary education. Higher education or professional education is not free and can also be not made free, because of the huge cost invloved in doing it, for which we are niether capable nor equipped with.


Then what can be done, i really dont have an answer ??? need your suggestions and views on this topic.


What i always try (i mean try) is to give them whatever is possible from my side money/eatable/cloth i mean anything which can bring SMILE on their face. I would anyday avoid giving money bu then ??? if i am in a mrket i will try and buy them some food (but i also have my limitations at time in terms of money that i am carrying or the money i can actually afford) U guys would understand what i mean... I think we should always contribute in one way or the other for this social problem. Just imagine how helpless these children are ... the way they look at us and the condition they are in... on one of us would like this to happen to anyone we know.

Remember an old urdu saying .....

ghar se masjid hai bahut door, chalo ye kar lein,
ek roote hue bache ko hansaya jai....


Pls contribute for a better tommorow ... for all of us
