Responsibility

I went over to pacific after work to grab some essentials and dashed back home yesterday when I saw an indian boy,about 15 years of age walking slowly, trying to cross the street. Usually I always try my best to stop my car whenever I see any pedestrians in the middle,trying to cross the road or even cars trying to get into the main lane,just to let them get in. But this time,I couldn’t stop as I spotted the boy a tad too late plus I was going a tad too fast.

I felt bad coz the boy looked quite pitiful, wearing an old torn yellowing white shirtand when I watched from my rear mirror,I realized he was walking with a slight twisted limp.

Somehow the boy reminded me of my ‘empty’ promises to myself that I will make sure that our Indian society comes up one day. I used to tell myself, that once I grow up, I’ll help those Indians especially in rural estates to come up in education.

I really felt terribly upset for a moment as I realized I was drifting away from the main ambition of my life.

Right now, I’m wondering clueless’ly’ where to start and how do I fit it in my working schedule. I just don’t want to be one of those Indian who had come up and completely forgotten the roots and those below her who need a lifting hand.

The amount of Indians who have come up is nothing compared to those who are still dwelling in the estates, without proper education and without a future and without a clue on the dominations in the outside world.

I’m trying to help. I hope you too as an Indian will try to figure out a way to help ‘our’ children out there. Even a simple motivation session will go a long way.

It’s our responsibility.
