It was in between when I had got tired of sitting in
my ac room and browsing the internet that I got out of my room and happened to
peep out of the window, where apparently there are vegetable vendors. I looked
at a child, ya child because he looked like he was still in his teenage
counting some money sitting on a mat where he had laid his vegetables. He sits
there every day I have noticed from some 10am in the morning till I guess a ten
in the night to earn whatever little he does throughout the day in the blazing
UP sun to just earn a living when other children of his age may be cribbing
about not having the latest phone, or may not having too many likes for some
random post on facebook.. I mean because that’s what probably a rich persons
teenager problems are now a days. And why blame them look at me how different
was I myself I thought, thinking all day when will my result come, thinking
weather I ll get the job I want, and what to watch on the TV !! I felt like a
waste when I actually thought I hardly appreciate what I have around, I hardly
utilize what I have been given. And this young boy even in any part of the day
I hardly ever saw him upset, he’s always smiling, teasing other vendors,
commenting on passer bys or in short happy in what he has around.
I
guess we who have these basic life privileges of a good food, good education
and good money should understand our responsibilities better that we carry for
the under privileged, we should utilize our privileges well instead of
cribbing, and wasting them if so we can do so much, for both staying happier
ourselves and ya for doing something for those who may never get as many
privileges as us!
