It was a sunny evening in Marina beach where i found some relief in the hot and heavily crowded Chennai city.So many thoughts went through my mind in an hour.. I was bored, lonely and irritated..The things which made me happy in that crowded beach was the lovely breeze, which brought some cool air and the sight of tall waves.. There came a neat looking kid offering Ginger tea for Rs.4/-. Even though it was hot i bought a cup of tea as it was the fifth offer by him in 10 minutes. Meanwhile I asked him why don't you continue your studies in Tamil. He replied in English saying "Thanks Anna, My father doesn't look after the family and I am doing it as part time job to pursue my 10th std studies". He and mom works to look after their five member family. All I had to tell him was - "All the best Thampi, do well and write your exams properly". He smiled and went away with his tea kit.
The first thought in my mind was ''Thank God, you were so kind to me". My irritation, loneliness and boredom became nothing in my mind after listening him. I am writing this to let you all know that ''Have kids only if you can look after and educate them properly''. I sincerely hope some kid's life gets better with this effort of mine...We do not want Danny Boyle's coming to India and making billions with their "Slum-dog millionaire's" featuring these kids..
