An Idea for Life-Inspirations

Posted on 11:06 by Unknown

The smallest and the simplest things in life are often  the ones that shock you the most. As Indians and as individuals(Indians first because that is the politically correct thing to do-country first) we tend to live in our cocoons.Little insects eating away the tender young fruit ,and then getting fat and surrounding oneself in the cocoon,sheilding ourself from reality.
And then breaking out and flying away to our own respective selfish lives.
So selfishly unaffected by the reality of those who have no access to the internet of a computer.
And then when social activists like Mittal Patel show us the reality of  nomads who have been labelled criminals and the girls of the Bedia tribe of Gujrat and Rajasthan who are forced into prostitution by virtue of their birth,and who support their families by selling their flesh and blood, we are shocked.
This little presentation is not what I have seen for the first time,and in all probability,I will see many many more of these speeches http://www.ftideacaravan.com/, at the Franklin Templeton Investmentspartnered the TEDxGateway Mumbai in December 2012.but the fact of the matter is -do these touch a cord in me.
Every time I see the plight of the girls who are less fortunate than me ,I feel a little pain.
The pain I can either ignore or let prick my conscience until it bleeds.
Bleeds a little to act as a balm for these hurt souls.
I promised myself,that I would do a little every year to help someones daughter.
Help the girls feel a little more confident.
Help them dream bigger.
I can only be a drop in the ocean...
And move the tides.

Thanks to Indiblogger,many more people will feel the pain.
If only they use that as a salve for the hurting soul.
