Yesterday it was Chartered Accountants Day, the day of my
profession. I was proud that I am also doing bit for my Country. I was happy,
went home from office and was just going to have dinner to a place after the
Maghrib Prayer. I was waiting for my roommates for the dinner and one girl came
near me to ask for something to eat. I did not have anything to give to her at
that time. I told her about that. She went away sad. But then I realised that
my roommate is up in my room and so while telling that girl to wait, I called
my roomie to bring the Orange which I got a day before. I asked that girl about
where she lived, why she was asking for food. She told me that she and her
family had eaten nothing from the very morning. It was okay because it was
Ramadan, but she told me that we did not even have the Sehri (Breakfast before
the Fast). I said okay I will give you what I have. While talking to her I
realised that she did not wear her footwear, her feet had rashes and they would
bleed at any time now. She told me that I did not have any Chappal or shoes. For
the first time since 2 years I literally had tears in my eyes seeing that girl’s
pain. I never cry, it’s not easy for me to cry, it’s next to impossible for me
to cry. But that pain gave me a reality check about my country. Meanwhile I told my roomie to bring my
Sandals so that I could give my Chappals to that girl. I did not want to give
that chappals, because they were my favourites, but that pain let me gave her.
If a small person like me can think and give, why not you?
You just not need to listen to others to give, you just have to listen to yourself.
You have to listen to the human in you. Today, there are many organizations who
work like this, but you do not need them because you yourself can do it. Just share
that thing and I am sure you will feel happy.
We discussed it in our home last night and I got a very good
thought from a friend. He told me Clean India should not be to clean the
streets and such stuff, it should really mean to clean the poverty. It should
be to empower the person so that they don’t sleep on the streets. I would like
our Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sir to look into it.
