looking away

all the time ..without fail whenevr i m travelling in train from college to home for vacations , or for any oder reason . they turn up, their eyes full of sorrow. looks envoking mercy , or trying their best to envoke mercy. sometimes alone sometimes carrying a baby, nursing a broken arm ..watevr.

and me trying my best to look away ..!! fighting my concience not to slip out that odd one ruppee coin i have in my pocket . after all i ask myself ..how many ??

to how many beggars will i keep giving these coins for they never seem to stop coming.

dont encourage beggary people say , but does reminding this always to urself when that wide eyed 8 year old having a tear or two (fake ..? ) says " bhiayya ek rupya de do.." helps u keep a clean conscience.even if u curb temporarily the urge to slip out "the coin" dusnt it make u feel sick to the stomach ?

okay , so wats the solution ..how can we the future of india ..help to eradicate this evil called beggary and extreme poverty ..after all what exactly can we do ?

first

Foraying into the world of blogging .I am happy for making a start.

Its a pretty cool thing to do , as i have never been able to push myself into writing a diary and am in front of my comp for almost the entire day ,maybe this'll help me to "self-reflect" , which i intended to do while writing a diary.

i dont know many of my frnds to be avid bloggers whoich i hope to be , so its going to be lonely at first i m sure , but sooner than later , it'll be ok.
