Diwali

i m sharing my experience with all of u .this exp teachs me the actual meaning of diwali that day I was in my city itself trying to enjoy the Diwali with one of my friend. And during the same day two incident happen that makes me to think about the real meaning of DIWALI.When I was just enjoying in my own world, suddenly I realized a touch on my thighs and when I saw , there was a child opening his arms wide open towards me and asking me for the Money. I was shocked. Well this is not the first time its happening. But it makes me to think about why there is so much disparity in terms of economy in India. On one hand, there are people who used to enjoy the diwali by firing thousands rupees of crackers and on the other hand there are people and for them this day is nothing but another day to fight for their survival. To bring about a change in India is not a big thing but the problem lies is changing the mentality of the people.On that day I gave him some rupees so that he kan atleast have some food but I was really feeling like criminal and I feel guilty while I was giving the money to that sweet little child. Because money kant solve the problem, contrary to fact , money is the only problem creator.And the irony is that only this problem creator kan solve the problem in todays world.That sweet child was also enjoying the diwali not by firng the crackers but by watching the crackers.
In another instance , I saw an 8-10 years girl holding a baby (hardly an year old) in her arms, The arms that are not supposed to give support to other but they need some arms to hold herself even.She was standing in front of a hotel in front of its banner showing different varieties of dishes.And again that gal makes me to feel like a criminal. She was just taking her hands off to the board every time and taking it to mouth of the child and she was just laughing. That sweet child was also enjoying this game. After 2-3 minutes of this activity, she left that place.I was just standing outside and thinking and thinking and thinking………….
