children & future

Love!
The media revolution in the world also brings us the strak realities of "the other world" we refuse to see or maybe ignore calling it as the fate. This fatalist tendencies may actually damge the whole world. we forget that the whole world is connected; more conncted then ever before. !! and what did we think, its just the stock markets. Phew!!! remember the gulf war; the consequent price rise & the cascading effect on the money with the govt., general price rise, lesser automobiles sales; again hitting the economy, loss of jobs & ultimately effecting each one of us, from cities to remotest part of india.And we ourselves sat in a glass house, believing that saddam & bush are far faraway.

saw the state of children living with their illegal labourer parents in the financial capital. the comparsion of weights of children struck me so hard that i forgot about all my information on GDP & tata-corus deal. weisght of a child is reflective of her health in future also. the contrast ; a nine month old child weighed 7.5 kgs in a posh locality of mumbai & not very far away in a jhopri ( shack), a TWO year old boy weighed just 4.7 kgs!!!!! no where the social disparity more evident.

not a moralistic , didactic theory. no morality or oneupmanship can improve the condition of our India or our world. I understand the peopel who read my blog is definetly from upper middle, middle class, educated with english as a medium & well versed with any info on & in the world. so what!??


lets think how can we contribute. its easier said then done, but the first step has to be taken. that may form the base. waiting for suggestions.

cheers pk
