Have you seen a kid picking trash and searching debris to find something valuable enough to feed him for a day...Anything that can relieve his burning hunger......anything that can save another hungry night in the corner of a street he shares with dogs and rest of the folk like him....with a sense of fear..with a sense of hopelessness...a sense of helplessness....and a hardened soul.Everyone knows of his existence, everyone sees him every day at every nook and corner of the urban jungles…..
The cost of his entire food for a day is less than a few rupees......The price he pays to get that? An entire childhood!
How hard can a human being be not to notice the kid’s existence or to just ignore him? A child is a personification of innocence. It doesn’t matter whose kid it is….yours or a street side laborer’s….every child is born innocent. The innocence thats lost in streets....a pain that knows no tears..a pain that knows nothing but fear..a childhood that is lost in trash...shold NEVER be allowed to happen, no matter what.
Any nation that boasts of growth while its children are starving, being sold like slaves, picking trash, begging on the streets, working in fields, working in homes, prostituting is a failure……and every human being that ignores such children is a disease and a walking sin.
EVERY CHILD DESERVES A CHANCE FOR A BETTER FUTURE. EVERY CHILD MUST BE CARED FOR. Every kid deserves to be safe and secure…..Our future depends on them as much as our self or our economy.
Secure a childhood....give them a chance at life…all they need is basic food, shelter and a sense of personal safety. And do you have hard time finding one? Just look around in any street in any town.

Corruption Everywhere : What would you do?
We have many studies on how to prevent corruption in public administration, but the challenge is to come up with a foolproof way for our purposes and needs of eradicating the corruption at public offices, if not entirely.
Having a million procedures to fight corruption is like owning a goldmine but having no small change for daily needs.
Practically, it is impossible to eradicate corruption. Action is what we need. Inertia is what we need to get rid of. Planning is what we so called educated people should concentrate on. BUT, how do you explain all this to a simple minded farmer who needs a certificate from an MRO office? How can we tell this to a Rickshaw puller who needs to be on the road, day or night, rain or shine, that he need not give money to the traffic police waiting like a leech at every corner of our streets?
In order to do that, in the face of highly corrupt, ruthless and politically protected agents involved in our system, given the inertia of educated fools, ignorant masses and people who don’t even have a clue of what has affected our system from inside, we need to think of the problem as a disease and come up with SIMPLE and EFFECTIVE methods to counter ANY corruption, may it be in an RTC bus or Municipal Town Planning Office, and make them available for the masses.
Right to Information (RTI) Act of 2005 is a revolutionary Notification that is bound to challenge the limits of our usually voiceless, inertia ridden masses. The idea of using it is to have checks and balances at the local to the National level is infact the premise for such an act.
Do let us know your ideas. Please don’t send us endless chatter on what others are not doing. Plain and simple. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
