There is so much to do and such
little time.. its just been a month and I have visited a 6-7 villages across India.. it
seems like a different world… a different reality..
Sometimes I felt that India was like
the places I k now off.. yes ive studies.. read about illiteracy.. ive read
about health issues.. subjugation women.. and so many more things… but seeing
it happen in front of my own eyes… it just did not feel real..
People still believe that malaria
is cured by putting egg in ears.. that its disrespectful to speak before
elders.. that vaccination of infants is
of no importance.. that its not important to make a girl study.. .
Most these people whom I met there
do not dream.. that is what there is life is all about.. they do not want their kids to go through
this.. but they feel they have no option..thats what life is for them..
Its been 60 years we’ve been
independent.. our country has been through ups and downs.. .the governments
time and again have come up with schemes etc..
but where has all of it gone.. why is it that people still are
uneducated.. that infants still die because the mother does not know the value
of nutritious diet.. why is it that in schools children are still malnourished
and the family doesn’t even know about it.. why is it that I see so much scope
of things to be done.. to achieve.. to work for.. and others just crib about
having a country with no facilities..
Food.. education.. health.. are
basics of ‘life’.. only life.. we don’t even that with us today..

We are still struggling with caste discriminations, gender discriminations and lack of administration.Administration is particularly difficult across a large country like ours... Thankfully, people like you are making the effort.. One step at a time :)
