As usual I was on my way to the office which is barely a
five minute walk from the Jangpura Metro Station. And that is when my ever
inquisitive eyes notices a small shaggy child of around 8-10 years, with
disheveled hair, barely clad and bare footed carrying a big white plastic bag
and standing next to well known place “Eros” A movie complex cum food joint (Mc
Donald’s). I was trying to figure out what had seized his captivating eyes and
then I noticed a small toy shop next to the food joint which had teddies of all
sizes and colors and attractive toy cars in the display. And I realized what
engrossed him so meditatively. It seemed so ironic and I thought why God has
created a world so paradoxical, on one
hand there are those children who have everything at their command be it
comfort, coziness or materialistic possessions while on the other there are
those who carve for a single meal, there are those who hardly have slippers to
protect their naked feet…
