Was just wondering if you ever looked out of the window back in your home? Ever tried freezing life for a moment? Ever analysed the picture we instantaneously recognize but never identify with? Those semi-baked roads, honking cabs, hurrying office-goers, cursing pedestrians, screeching vendors, autowallahs yelling at each other..etc etc. Oh! the picture looks so familiar!!
Come closer and I'll show you more.
The picture has a nine-year-old Sai who sells tea on the pavements. He occasionally chats with his younger brother Seenu (6) who boot polishes nearby. They both love listening to songs on the old radio and munching groundnuts among other things. But they hate the group of Ajay (13), Wasim (9) and Venkat (11), the rag-pickers, who bully them for money and sheer entertainment. Thank God, they have a friend in Raju (13), the car-washer, who protects them each time.
Do not form your opinion, my friend, for each of them is too young to be rated good or bad. So young that they do not know that they are destined for a life not worth living. Poor them.
Don't you think these orphaned children are unfortunate souls? Have you never felt sorry for them? Don't you think you can, or rather should, do something to make them smile?
Well, actually you can do much more than you can possibly imagine. For the time being, just assemble on the Terrace on 25th June and have a talk with us.
