Fight On!!!



Creek....Creek...cluck....Clakad.... n my tooth was gone.
No more it is with me. It was painful. But that was not the only pain I had. There's something else that's hurting....

Its not easy out there for many.... My problems are too small.
The girl who washes our dishes, is some 15-16 yrs old & sparkles our dishes-floors so that she can bring some shine to her career. She's the kind of gal, whom i'll think of, whenever chips are down.

Her Daily Routine:

Getting up at 5:00
Starts cleaning floors & dishes at 7:00 & goes on till 3:30
Computer classes at 4:00
Reach back home by 7:00
Household chores till 9:00
Study till 10:30
Sleep till 5:00

And her smile is so dam infectious. My masi has even given her a pet name: 'Gudiya'!


If her's a tough life than feel what these people go through. Try seeing Eunuch's just ahead of Bandra station on harbour line, towards CST. Wearing short, minimal fabric consuming clothes just to lure customers. All this for shelter & 3 time food. They know their profession will not work for them life long. People laugh on & enact vaguely on seeing them, they stay semi nude during heavy Mumbai rains, trembling in cold. Trembling with fever, they still have to make someone horny for the fact that the day's dinner does not come for free. Talk to them & it's guaranteed, you'll forget your pains for sometime & shudder for someone else's pain.

If those small problems have been our botheration than these people are the ones to collect some spirit & inspiration from.

That's Life!!
It wouldn't have been fun, if it would have been so simple!!

Fight On!!!!
