Yesterday, I boarded train from Thane, was on Audit. There was rush, as usual! I got in and luckily I got the seat. There was this young Girl of around 8-9yrs and she was standing in the middle of the crowd. People were pushing like anything. I noticed the girl, there was bag on her shoulders which was open and there were few books in her hand. May be a school girl, I guessed. I got up some how and tried to fetch the girl. She was quite away that my hands were out of her reach. I some how threw my hands to call her. Her back was towards me. Finally I reached out for her. She looked at me, I offered her seat, she smiled at me. I got confused! I again asked her to take the seat, as the train was too pack and she might get injured. She said, NO! and nodded her head.
Then I noticed that, she took the money from one of the lady, she sold one of the drawing book she was holding. That bag was not open but the chain was broken & cannot be closed. she sell those books that were in her hand and she isn't a student but a Vendor!
I could not stop wondering, that she was selling the books which she should have used for herself at this age, instead of her, her Parents should have hanged that Bag on their shoulders and should have taken her to school, like that of most of ours do (did).
I'm helpless, as I have always been...
It kills ME in me

Sometimes, anger gives us motivation. This should create hunger in your mind to help someone as u can. Obviously, we cant help everyone. But once people are united, strength grows and in unity, we can achieve anything.
